Should migratory testicles be treated?

Testicles are a special part of the male body. They feel like two eggs, so they are also called eggs. In life, testicles need special care. After all, they are related to men's reproductive health. Even if there are problems with testicles, it will affect the marriage relationship of the couple. After all, testicles are also related to sex life. So, should wandering testicles be treated?

Migratory testicles generally do not require treatment, and will not affect normal life, but they will have a certain impact on fertility and the survival rate of sperm. If the situation is more serious, I personally recommend that you go to a regular tertiary hospital for consultation or to understand related matters to avoid other complications.

Orchitis:

1. Introduction:

Orchitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by infiltration of intratesticular inflammatory cells and damage to the seminiferous tubules.

2. Causes:

Orchitis is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The testicles themselves rarely have bacterial infections. This is because the testicles have a rich supply of blood and lymph fluid and are more resistant to bacterial infections. Bacterial orchitis is mostly caused by inflammation of the adjacent epididymis, so it is also called epididymo-orchitis. Common pathogens are Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc. Viruses can directly invade the testicles, the most common of which is the mumps virus. This pathogen itself mainly invades the parotid glands of children. However, this virus is also good at invading the testicles, so viral orchitis is often prone to occur shortly after the onset of mumps. In addition, autoimmune orchitis (experimental

EAO) is a reproductive immunology disease with chronic testicular inflammation as the main pathological change.

3. Clinical manifestations:

The main manifestations of orchitis are damage to the seminiferous tubules, infiltration of leukocytes around the seminiferous tubules, and a significant decrease in the number of sperm, resulting in dead sperm, azoospermia, and loss of fertility. In addition, factors such as antisperm antibodies produced in orchitis, insufficient blood supply, and activated inflammatory cells can induce damage to the blood-testis barrier, affecting the differentiation activity of spermatogenic cells, thereby causing sperm production disorders and directly leading to male infertility.

4. Imaging examination:

The main inflammatory lesions of the testicle are subacute inflammation of the testicle and tunica vaginalis. The ultrasound manifestations are mainly decreased echoes and diffuse enlargement of the testicle, which are similar to the ultrasound manifestations of diffuse testicular tumors, with relatively uniform echoes. The color Doppler examination results may show increased blood flow signals or no significant blood flow signals.
