Does Architis Affect The Sperm Count?

Hi, this is Vikram here. I have had orchitis twice in the past four years. The latest occurrence was in the Month of May 2014. I believe i'm completely healed now. I wanted to know if i can start going to the gym now? Also, does orchitis affect the sperm count?

Hello
thanks for using health care magic

Orchitis is inflammation of the testes. it is due to infection in
most cases. both viral and bacterial pathogens are known to
infect the testes and thus cause orchitis.

For sure, orchitis will affect sperm count. Such infections may
alter the normal functioning of the testes thus leading to low
sperm production. there could as well infect and destroy the
sperm cells directly.

I do not see any reason why you should not start going to gym.
All things being equal, unless for another problem you might
not have mentioned, there is no reason not to go to the gym.

Hope this helps.
Best regards
Dr Achuo
