Can mumps orchitis heal itself?

If mumps is caused by orchitis, this condition is not self-healing. It is mainly caused by mumps virus entering the testis through blood circulation. In this case, it is easy to cause irreversible damage to the testis, causing the testicular texture to soften and show atrophy. If both testicles show inflammation, it will also cause male infertility, requiring timely antiviral treatment, if necessary, the use of lidocaine for spermatic cord closure to protect testicular spermatogenesis, or the use of interferon for immunotherapy.
