How to treat orchitis?

Orchitis is mainly caused by viruses and bacteria and is a common disease in men. It may lead to decreased sexual function, infertility, or serious diseases. Once you feel abnormal, you should go to the hospital for examination, because it may affect your life. Testicles are very important to men and are the tool for sperm production. Let's learn about why orchitis occurs and the main treatment methods.

The main causes are the following factors:

① Urinary tract infection: Bacteria move upward from the urinary tract and enter through the vas deferens, causing the disease.

②Hematogenous infection: For example, during mumps, the mumps virus enters the testicles through the blood circulation, causing testicular inflammation.
