| ==Overview==
| |
| | |
| '''Orchitis''' is an often very painful condition of the [[testicles]] involving inflammation, swelling and frequently infection.
| |
| | |
| ==Symptoms==
| |
| [[Symptom]]s of orchitis are similar to those of [[testicular torsion]]. These can include:
| |
| * [[ejaculation]] of [[blood]]
| |
| * [[hematuria]] (blood in the [[urine]])
| |
| * [[Pain and nociception|pain]]
| |
| * visible [[swelling]] of a testicle or testicles and often the inguinal lymph nodes on the affected side.
| |
|
| |
| | |
| This condition must be [[Diagnosis|diagnosed]] by a [[physician]].
| |
| | |
| ==Causes==
| |
| Orchitis can be related to [[epididymitis]] infection that has spread to the [[testicles]]. Orchitis is a not as common as [[epididymitis]], but should not be taken lightly as loss of function ([[hypogonadism]]) can occur in the testicles.
| |
| | |
| A common cause for childhood orchitis is [[mumps]].
| |
| | |
| [[Ischemic]] orchitis may result from damage to the blood vessels of the [[spermatic cord]] during [[Herniorrhaphy|inguinal herniorrhaphy]], and may in the worst event lead to [[testicular atrophy]].

| ==Treatment==
| |
| | |
| In most cases where orchitis is caused by epididymitis, treatment is an oral antibiotic such as [[cefalexin]] or [[ciprofloxacin]] until infection clears up.
| |
| | |
| For viral infections, antibiotics are not recommended.
| |
| | |
| In both causes [[non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs]] such as [[naproxen]] or [[ibuprofen]] are recommended to relieve pain. Sometimes stronger pain medications in the [[opiate]] category, particularly [[hydrocodone]], are called for and are frequently prescribed by experienced emergency room physicians.
