Orchitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of one or both testicles, typically caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for orchitis is crucial for prompt diagnosis and effective management. At Aashakiran IVF, under the guidance of Dr. Asmita Mahla, we provide expert evaluation and personalized treatment plans for individuals affected by orchitis.

Causes of Orchitis: Orchitis can be caused by various factors, including:

  1. Bacterial Infections: Orchitis often occurs as a complication of bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs) or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like gonorrhoea or chlamydia.
  2. Viral Infections: Viruses such as mumps virus or the flu virus can also cause orchitis, particularly in adolescent boys and young men.
  3. Trauma: Injury to the testicles or surrounding area can lead to inflammation and orchitis.
  4. Autoimmune Conditions: In some cases, orchitis may occur as a result of an autoimmune reaction, where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the testicular tissue.

Symptoms of Orchitis: Common symptoms of orchitis may include:

  • Swelling and tenderness of the affected testicle(s)
  • Redness and warmth in the scrotum
  • Pain or discomfort in the testicle(s) or groin area
  • Fever and chills
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Painful or frequent urination
  • Discharge from the penis (in cases of bacterial orchitis)

Diagnosis and Treatment: Diagnosis of orchitis typically involves a physical examination, medical history review, and may include laboratory tests such as urine analysis or ultrasound imaging to assess inflammation and rule out other conditions. Treatment options for orchitis may include:

  1. Antibiotics: If bacterial infection is the cause of orchitis, antibiotics are prescribed to treat the underlying infection.
  2. Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications may help alleviate discomfort and reduce inflammation.
  3. Rest and Supportive Care: Resting the affected area, applying cold packs, and wearing supportive underwear can help ease symptoms and promote healing.
  4. Treatment of Underlying Conditions: Addressing underlying conditions such as STIs or autoimmune disorders is essential for preventing recurrent episodes of orchitis.
