Hello- You might be suffering from post fever orchitis. It is an inflammation of one or both testicles. Bacterial or viral infections can cause orchitis, or the cause can be unknown. Orchitis is most often the result of a bacterial infection, such as a sexually transmitted infection (STI). In some cases, the mumps virus can cause orchitis. Consult a qualified ayurveda doctor immediately or else your sperm producing ability will be compromised.

If your left testicle hurts, it’s important to know some of the more common causes, their symptoms, and some treatment options that your doctor may discuss with you. 1. Varicoceles you have arteries throughout your body that deliver oxygen-rich blood from the heart to bones, tissue, and organs. You also have veins that carry oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart and lungs. When a vein in a testicle becomes enlarged, it’s called a varicocele. Varicoceles affect up to 15 percent of males. Like varicose veins in your legs, varicoceles may appear bulgy under the skin of your scrotum. They tend to form in the left testicle because the vein on the left side hangs lower. This makes it a little more difficult for the valves in that vein to keep pushing blood up into the body. Treatment you may not need treatment for a varicocele, though if it’s causing you pain or fertility problems, then you should discuss treatment options with a urologist. Surgery can close off blood flow in the enlarged part of the affected vein and reroute it through other veins. Surgery is usually successful in eliminating pain and allowing for healthy testicle function. Fewer than 1 in 10 surgical patients have recurring varicoceles. 2. Orchitis orchitis is inflammation of the testicles, usually triggered by a virus or bacterial infection. Pain may start in the left or right testicle and remain there or spread throughout the scrotum. In addition to pain, the scrotum may swell and turn warm. The skin may turn reddish, and the scrotum may feel firmer or more tender than usual. The mumps virus is often the cause of orchitis. If that is the case, then symptoms in the scrotum may not appear for up to a week. Sexually transmitted infections (stis), such as gonorrhea, or a urinary tract infection may also lead to orchitis. Treatment treatment options for orchitis depend on its underlying cause. A bacterial infection can be treated with antibiotics. A virus, such as the mumps, usually just needs time to resolve itself. Over-the-counter pain medications may help ease your symptoms. 3. Spermatocele a spermatocele is a cyst or fluid-filled sac that forms in the tube that carries sperm from the upper part of a testicle. A spermatocele can develop in either testicle. If the cyst remains small, you may never have any symptoms. If it grows, that testicle may hurt and feel heavy. You may notice a change in the affected testicle during a self-exam. If you do, you should see your doctor. It’s unknown why spermatoceles form. If you have no symptoms, you may not need any treatment. Treatment if you’re experiencing pain and discomfort, a surgical procedure called a spermatocelectomy can remove the cyst. The operation does carry the risk of affecting fertility, so in some cases, men are advised to wait until they are done having children before undergoing the procedure. 4. Testicular torsion considered a medical emergency, testicular torsion occurs when the spermatic cord becomes twisted in the testicle, cutting off its blood supply. The spermatic cord is a tube that helps support the testicles in the scrotum. If the condition isn’t treated within six hours, a man could lose the affected testicle. Testicular torsion is somewhat unusual, affecting about 1 in 4,000 young men. One of the most common causes of testicular torsion is a condition called “bell clapper” deformity. Instead of having a spermatic cord that holds the testicles firmly in place, someone born with bell clapper deformity has a cord that allows the testicles to move more freely. This means the cord can be more easily twisted. Testicular torsion usually affects only one testicle, with the left testicle being the most common. The pain usually comes on suddenly and with swelling. Treatment testicular torsion must be treated surgically, though an emergency room doctor may be able to temporarily untwist the cord by hand. An operation involves securing the testicle with sutures to the inner wall of the scrotum to avoid future twisting. If bell clapper deformity is diagnosed, the surgeon may secure the other testicle to the scrotum even if there’s been no torsion. 5. Hydrocele inside the scrotum, a thin layer of tissue surrounds each testicle. When fluid or blood fills this sheath, the condition is called a hydrocele. Usually the scrotum will swell, and there may or may not be pain. A hydrocele can develop around one or both testicles. A hydrocele is more common in infants and tends to resolve itself within a year or so after birth. But inflammation or injury can cause a hydrocele to form in older boys and men. Treatment surgery may be needed to remove the hydrocele. You may need to have fluid or blood drained from around the testicle after the operation, which is called a hydrocelectomy. Follow-up appointments and self-exams are recommended, as a hydrocele can form again, regards Dr. Ms. haque.

Hello- Just under half of all males who get mumps-related orchitis notice some shrinkage of their testicles and an estimated 1 in 10 men experience a drop in their sperm count (the amount of healthy sperm their body can produce). Varicocele is another cause behind low sperm count. Fortunately, both the issues can be addressed and the shrinkage can be cured but only by ayurveda treatment.

Orchitis is an inflammation of one or both testicles. It is usually caused by a bacterial infection or by the mumps virus. Bacterial orchitis can be caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs), particularly gonorrhea or chlamydia. Bacterial orchitis often results from epididymitis, an inflammation of the coiled tube (epididymis) at the back of the testicle that stores and carries sperm. In that case, it's called epididymo-orchitis. Orchitis causes pain and can affect fertility. Medication can treat the causes of bacterial orchitis and can ease some signs and symptoms of viral orchitis. But it may take several weeks for scrotal tenderness to disappear. You can easily take an online consultation for further treatment guidance.

This is happening due to congestion of the epididymis which is the route of semen from testis to penis. It happens when you get excited but don't ejaculate. So mustarbation will help to reduce such pain.

It is due to mumps parotitis. Conservative, supportive medical care is indicated for patients with mumps. No antiviral agent is indicated for treatment of this viral illness, as mumps is a self-limited disease. Encouraging oral fluid intake is essential, as maintenance of adequate hydration and alimentation of patients is important. Refrain from acidic foods and liquids as they may cause swallowing difficulty, as well as gastric irritation. Prescribe analgesics (acetaminophen, ibuprofen) for headaches or discomfort due to parotitis. Topical application of warm or cold packs to the swollen parotid area may soothe the region. Stronger analgesics may be required for patients with orchitis. Bed rest, scrotal support, and ice packs are recommended.
