Symptoms of Varicella Complicated with Orchitis

The symptoms of varicella complicated with orchitis are mainly manifested as follows: 1. Systemic symptoms: Patients will experience fever and elevated body temperature, accompanied by general malaise, such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, bitter taste in the mouth, yellow urine, and constipation. These symptoms are usually associated with the varicella viral infection, which is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It is highly contagious, especially among infants and young children. 2. Skin symptoms: Patients will develop red rashes on their bodies, which gradually progress into round vesicles the size of rice grains or peas, surrounded by red halos. These vesicles typically dry up and crust over within 2 to 3 days, which is a classic presentation of varicella. 3. Testicular symptoms: Most importantly, the testicles will become swollen and painful, which are clear signs of orchitis. The pain may radiate to the groin, the skin of the scrotum may appear red, and there is usually marked tenderness. If the inflammation is severe, a testicular abscess may develop, potentially leading to a worsening of systemic symptoms. Prompt medical attention is necessary upon the appearance of these symptoms to ensure appropriate treatment.
