The early symptoms of orchitis mainly include:
1. Pain and discomfort: Patients may experience testicular pain, which sometimes radiates to the scrotum, groin area, and inner thighs.
2. Swelling and tenderness: Swelling of the testicles occurs, accompanied by tenderness. If the inflammation progresses to the formation of pus, a fluctuant sensation may be felt upon palpation.
3. Systemic symptoms: General symptoms such as high fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting are common, indicating a systemic response by the body to the inflammation.
4. Skin changes: The skin of the scrotum may become red and swollen; in severe cases, abscess formation may occur.
These symptoms are typical early manifestations of orchitis. If these symptoms appear, prompt medical attention is recommended for timely and targeted treatment.
