Among many infertility diseases, many are caused by one's own life problems and infectious diseases, while others are caused by being too old. Among them, there are many spontaneous or infectious reproductive system inflammations. For men, the most terrifying thing is "egg pain", and orchitis is such a type of inflammation that can cause pain and death. And this type of orchitis also makes people worry about whether it will affect fertility. Can this type of orchitis self heal?

1、 Etiology of orchitis

Orchitis includes acute non-specific orchitis and specific orchitis. Non specific orchitis is more common and often occurs in patients with cystitis, urethritis, prostatitis, or long-term placement of catheters. Non specific orchitis is caused by bacterial infections, usually caused by bacterial infections such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Proteus. Orchitis can be caused by bacteria spreading through the lymphatic and vas deferens, or by blood transmission to the testes. The most common cause of specific orchitis is the mumps virus. The cause of orchitis has a history of unclean sexual activity. Not paying attention to the hygiene of the reproductive organs: especially when the foreskin is too long, it is necessary to frequently turn over and clean the penis to remove smegma, as smegma not only easily stimulates the glans repeatedly, but also causes diseases such as balanodermatitis and orchitis. Excessive sexual activity, if indulged and uncontrolled, can lead to long-term congestion of the reproductive organs, leading to decreased sexual function and easily leading to orchitis, prostate disease, and sexual problems.

2、 Can orchitis affect fertility?

Most orchitis is caused by inadequate personal hygiene or improper clothing, which can lead to inflammation of the reproductive system. According to the condition, unilateral orchitis will not affect fertility. It is recommended to actively treat and prevent other diseases, such as prostatitis, inflammation or nephritis of the spermatic cord, endocrine system diseases, varicocele, etc. If the condition progresses seriously, it may also lead to male azoospermia and infertility. The most important cause of orchitis is bacterial infection. Once a bacterial infection occurs, it may affect the quality of sperm. After the damage to sperm quality is affected, it may generally lead to a decrease in sperm quality, directly affecting fertility issues at this time.

3、 Can orchitis self heal?

Orchitis may self heal, but it often has complications that can affect future sexual life for couples. It is recommended to actively take effective treatment for different causes. Be careful not to eat spicy food and eat more vegetables and fruits. Therefore, orchitis requires timely treatment. According to the pathogenic microorganisms, viral orchitis should be treated with antiviral drugs, while bacterial orchitis should be treated with sensitive antibiotics. As for prognosis, it depends on the degree of testicular recovery. Most people recover well, while a few recover, but testicular atrophy occurs, which affects spermatogenesis. It is divided into acute suppurative orchitis and epidemic parotitis orchitis, with acute suppurative orchitis being the most common. Acute suppurative orchitis is mainly characterized by acute attacks, fever, aversion to cold, and swelling and pain in one or both testicles. Epidemic parotitis orchitis mainly manifests as testicular swelling, pain, redness, swelling, and fever, secondary to epidemic parotitis. Generally, patients can go to a regular hospital or be cured if they first notice symptoms.

Although orchitis is not a particularly serious reproductive system disease, it is not lagging behind in terms of the degree of pain it brings. Many patients who suffer from illness are in great pain, which can have a significant impact on their daily lives, work, and studies. And if the delay is too long, it can lead to a series of serious complications, and even ultimately affect normal reproductive function. So orchitis still needs to be treated as soon as possible, whether from the perspective of relieving pain or fertility!
