•Orchitis is an inflammation of the testicles. It
can be caused by either bacteria or a virus.
•Both testicles may be affected by orchitis at the
same time. However, the symptoms are usually
in just one testicle.
•This kind of testicular inflammation is often
associated with the mumps virus.
Orchitis
OTITIS
SYMPTOMS
•PAIN IN THE TESTICLES AND GROIN IS THE PRIMARY SYMPTOM OF
ORCHITIS.
•TENDERNESS IN THE SCROTUM
•PAINFUL URINATION
•PAINFUL EJACULATION
•A SWOLLEN SCROTUM
•BLOOD IN THE SEMEN
•ABNORMAL DISCHARGE
•AN ENLARGED PROSTATE
•SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES IN THE GROIN
• FEVER
Testicular examination reveals the following:
• Testicular enlargement
• Induration of the testis
• Tenderness
• Erythematous scrotal skin
• Edematous scrotal skin
• Enlarged epididymis
On rectal examination, there is a soft boggy prostate (prostatitis)
• Other findings include parotitis and fever.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
• Most commonly, mumps causes isolated orchitis.
• Other rare viral etiologies include coxsackievirus, infectious
mononucleosis,varicella, and echovirus.
• Bacterial causes usually spread from an associated
epididymitis in sexually active men or men with BPH:
– bacteria include Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia
trachomatis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella
pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
and Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species.
–Bacterial orchitis rarely occurs without an associated
epididymitis.
CAUSES
• People who engage in high-risk sexual behavior may be
more likely to develop orchitis. High-risk sexual behavior
includes:
• having sexual intercourse without condoms
• having a history of STIs
• having a partner who has an STI
• Congenital urinary tract abnormalities can also increase
risk of orchitis. This means if one is born with structural
problems involving bladder or urethra.
Risk Factors for Orchitis
DIAGNOSIS
Laboratory tests are often not helpful in making the diagnosis
of orchitis
• Diagnosing mumps orchitis can be comfortably made based
on history and physical examination alone. Diagnosing
mumps orchitis can be confirmed with serum
immunofluorescence antibody testing.
• In sexually active males, urethral cultures and gram stain
should be obtained forChlamydia trachomatis and N
gonorrhoea.
• Urinalysis and urine culture should also be obtained.
LABORATORY STUDIES
• Color Doppler ultrasonography has become the imaging test
of choice for the evaluation of an acute scrotum.
IMAGING STUDIES
• Because orchitis often presents as acute edema and pain of the
testicle, ruling out testicular torsion is critical. A finding of a
normal-sized testicle with decreased flow is suggestive of torsion,
whereas a finding of an enlarged epididymis with thickening and
increased flow is more suggestive of epididymitis/orchitis.
..contd
• There’s no cure for viral orchitis, but the condition
will go away on its own.
–Suppurative treatment maybe applied:
•Bed rest.
•Hot or cold compress.
•Scrotal elevation.
•Bacterial orchitis is treated with antibiotics, anti-
inflammatory medications, and cold packs.
TREATMENT
Orchiepididymitis
• Epididymitis is the inflammation of the epididymis.
• If the inflammation spreads to the testicle spreads to
the scrotum it is called orchiepididymitis.
What is it?
Epididymitis
A: Caput or head of
the epididymis
B: Corpus or body of
the epididymis
C: Cauda or tail of the
epididymis
D: Vas deferens
E: Testicle
•Heavy sensation in the testicle area
•Painful scrotal swelling
•Fever
•Chills
•Testicle pain gets worse with pressure
•Lump in the testicle
SYMPTOMS
•Blood in the semen
•Discharge from the urethra
•Pain or burning during urination or
ejaculation
•Discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvis
SYMPTOMS
• Tenderness and induration occurring first in the epididymal tail and
then spreading
• Elevation of the affected hemiscrotum
• Normal cremasteric reflex
• Erythema and mild scrotal cellulitis
• Reactive hydrocele (in patients with advanced epididymo-orchitis)
• Bacterial prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis (in postpubertal individuals)
• With tuberculosis, focal epididymitis, a draining sinus, or beading of
the vas deferens.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
•Sexual intercourse with more than one partner and
not using condoms
•Being uncircumcised
•Recent surgery or a history of structural problems in
the urinary tract
•Regular use of a urethral catheter
RISK FACTORS
•Among sexually active men aged <35 years
–C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae
•Men who are the insertive partner during anal
intercourse:
–Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas spp
•Men aged >35 years
–Sexually transmitted epididymitis is uncommon
–Bacteriuria secondary to obstructive urinary disease is
more common
CAUSES
DIAGNOSIS
• Urinalysis: Pyuria or bacteriuria (50%); urine culture indicated for prepubertal
and elderly patients
• Complete blood count: Leukocytosis
• Gram stain of urethral discharge, if present
• Urethral culture, nucleic acid hybridization, and nucleic acid amplification
tests to facilitate detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia
trachomatis
• Performance of (or referral for) syphilis and HIV testing in patients with a
sexually transmitted etiology
• The use of C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate
(ESR) to differentiate epididymitis from other causes of acute scrotum is
under investigation
LABORATORY STUDIES
•Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG)
•Retrograde urethrography
•Abdominal/pelvic ultrasonography
•Radionuclide scanning and scintigraphy
•In tuberculous epididymitis, chest radiography,
computed tomography, or excretory urography
IMAGING STUDIES
DOPPLER SONOGRAM
• Empiric treatment is indicated before laboratory results
are available
• Goals of treatment of acute epididymitis caused by C.
trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae:
–Microbiological cure of infection
–Improvement of signs & symptoms
–Prevent transmission to others
–Reduce potential complications
TREATMENT
• Recommended Regimens:
–Ceftriaxone 250mg IM in a single dose PLUS
–Doxycycline 100mg PO BID x 10 days
For epididymitis most likely caused by enteric organisms:
–Levofloxacin 500mg PO once daily x 10 days
OR
–Ofloxacin 300mg PO BID x 10 days.
TREATMENT
•Practicing safe sex
•Treating sexual partners as a contact to
epididymitis
•Repeat screening for STI ~ 2 months after initial
testing for re-infection
•Abstain from sex until the individual & sex
partners have completed treatment
PROPHYLAXIS
