The (mumps) orchitis shrinkage is leading to a dark future of my life


by: Julian on Mon, Jul 02 2007

Hi everyone, my name is Julian, a 34-year-old from China. My story may not be much helpful to you all as the medical system is different and I got the mumps orchitis about 6 years ago, at that time my financial situations were much worse…
But I think it would be still useful for some of you guys to listen to my story, although it’s a very common case for mumps orchitis my point is that do not allow ignorance and negligence damage your life.

I was too healthy and ignorant when I had a mumps when I was about 27 years old, even when the doctor told me it might lead to orchitis and then infertility I still didn’t realize the gravity. The first clinic where I got a few day’s treatment for mumps and orchitis was too bad so I decided to move to a hospital, but unfortunately they’re just as bad as most of the Chinese hospitals. I stayed there for about 10 days but the two balls became bigger and bigger and the fever never go down. Finally my father asked a traditional Chinese doctor and he recommended the Bezoar Balls which are actually mixed with the stone powder of the bull. That’s a very famous Chinese medicine and the producer in Beijing is the most well-known old pharmacy. The bezoar worked perfectly, the fever went down quickly in one day, so I had another pill, I was nearly recovered, the testicles looked as usual, no pain, no swelling…

Today I was convinced that I would never produce a child anymore, that’s a very bad news in my life and I know I have to consider to turn to another direction now.

I am the only son in my family, and I love children so much. I don’t know why I have to suffer so much since I have been striving for so many years.
I have to stop this story now.

    You might consider having a testicular biopsy done to see if you have any sperm that could be used for high tech insemination of an egg....Read
