Orchitis is also a common disease in daily life. It has a great impact on male reproductive organs and may also cause infertility symptoms. This requires special attention from our patients' friends. Let's introduce the harm of orchitis in detail
1. Causes other diseases: orchitis is easy to cause various serious diseases, such as endocrine diseases, urinary system infection, varicocele, prostatitis and other diseases, which seriously threaten the life of men.
2. Can lead to loss of function: orchitis can lead to the decline of male function, or even complete loss of function, which brings difficulties to the life of couples.
3. Loss of fertility: orchitis can cause death of sperm, insemination and loss of fertility. Inflammatory pathogens can infect spouses, cause gynecological diseases, and cause great harm to wives.
4. Sperm damage, kidney loss and premature aging: orchitis causes mental loss, kidney loss, cold body, backache and premature aging in men.
5. Can lead to loss of function: orchitis can lead to the decline of male function, or even complete loss of function, which brings difficulties to the life of couples.
Four things should be done to prevent orchitis:
1. Childhood vaccination: mumps virus can directly invade the testis, and viral orchitis occurs shortly after the onset of mumps. Vulnerable children under one year of age can be vaccinated. The use of live attenuated mumps virus vaccine can prevent mumps and concurrent orchitis.
2. Good living habits: develop good living habits, do not smoke and drink, do not sit for a long time, do not have excessive sexual life, do not masturbate frequently, etc. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, increase the intake of vitamin C and other ingredients, and improve the body's anti-inflammatory ability. Eat less spicy and stimulating food.
3. Prevention of reproductive system inflammation: orchitis is usually secondary to epididymitis, and epididymitis is often secondary to prostatitis, urethritis, seminal vesiculitis and other reproductive system infectious diseases, so one of the important means to prevent orchitis is to prevent various reproductive system inflammation.
4. Pay attention to testicular health care: massage the testicles with both hands when taking a bath or before going to bed. Gently pinch the testicles with your thumb and massage them clockwise and anticlockwise for 10 minutes. If you find abnormal pain during massage, it may be orchitis or epididymitis, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
