What are the symptoms of acute orchitis?
Disease description:
I suddenly experienced aching pain in my testicle today, and I'm worried that I might have acute epididymitis. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of acute epididymitis?

The main symptoms of acute orchitis include:
1. Testicular pain and swelling: Patients experience significant testicular pain accompanied by swelling, with obvious tenderness upon touch.
2. Scrotal redness and swelling: The scrotum becomes red and swollen, corresponding to the testicular inflammation.
3. Fever and chills: Due to the inflammatory response, patients may develop elevated body temperature, sometimes reaching high fever (up to 40°C), along with chills.
4. Radiating pain: Pain may radiate to the scrotum, upper thighs, and groin area, increasing patient discomfort.
5. Abnormal laboratory findings: Blood tests often show a marked increase in white blood cell count, and urinalysis may reveal abnormalities.
