Orchitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Orchitis is the inflammation of one or both testicles, usually accompanied by pain, an increase in size, and tenderness in the area. It can have an infectious origin, whether viral or bacterial, and is sometimes associated with other infections of the genitourinary tract.
Frequent symptoms: testicular pain and swelling, redness of the scrotal skin, a feeling of heaviness, and, at times, general malaise or fever.
When to see a doctor? It is advisable to seek care if severe or sudden testicular pain appears, since some causes require prompt evaluation to distinguish them from other emergencies.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the professional to study orchitis and provide guidance on the steps to follow; in the event of persistent discomfort in the testicles, the most prudent thing is to request their evaluation.
