		Orchitis may be caused by numerous bacterial and viral organisms.
		When orchitis is caused by viral agents, only analgesics (pain relievers) are prescribed.
		With appropriate diagnosis and adequate treatment of bacterially-caused orchitis, normal function of the testicle is usually preserved.

	Infections and Inflammations
		Orchitis, inflammation of the testes, can be dangerous to an adult male's fertility because it can cause permanent, irreversible sterility.
		Viral infections are usually the cause of orchitis, the most notorious of which are the mumps.
		Symptoms of orchitis include a discharge of pus or mucus from the penis, dull twinges of pain in the testicles, and lower back pain.

		Chronic orchitis is not well-defined, and instead is considered to be one of the many conditions related to chronic testicular pain (orchalgia).
		In most cases of acute orchitis, the testicle is inflamed due to the spread of a bacterial infection from the epididymis, and therefore "epididymo-orchitits" is the correct term.
		Acute orchitis: Following the acute phase of mumps orchitis, the pain resolves but there is often atrophy of the testicle.

		Interferon has been shown to inhibit viral transcriptase and some preliminary studies have shown that it may be effective in preventing orchitis in males with mumps.

		Epididymitis is the inflammation of the epididymis, the elongated cordlike structure along the edge of the testis that provides for storage, transit and maturation of sperm.
		Certain diagnostic tests must be performed to diagnose epididymitis and orchitis and exclude other disease processes that may cause similar symptoms.
		In immune-mediated epididymitis and orchitis, drugs that suppress the immune system (such as corticosteroids) may be recommended.

	Nat' Academies Press, Adverse Events Associated with Childhood Vaccines: Evidence Bearing on Casuality (1994)
		Biologic plausibility for a causal relation between mumps vaccine and orchitis stems from the relation between wild-type mumps virus and orchitis (Association for the Study of Infectious Disease, 1974; Bendersky-Malbec, 1982; British Medical Journal, 1980; Sandler, 1954; Werner, 1950a,b) and from the temporal correlation between mumps vaccine and orchitis in several individual cases.
		Because orchitis is uncommon, it seems possible that cases temporally related to mumps vaccination are caused by the vaccine virus.
		However, it is also possible that at least some of the cases of orchitis following administration of mumps vaccine were caused by infection with wild-type virus, because the impetus to immunize males often is exposure to mumps disease.
