Can mumps have complications leading to infertility?

Question
Hello doctor, my baby is now 4 years old. The baby had mumps, the hospital doctor examined and gave her medicine for 1 week, then the swelling stopped. Ask your doctor if you are at risk of complications leading to infertility? Thank you doctor.

Answer
Hi, mumps can cause epididymitis and orchitis in men. can lead to testicular atrophy (30-50% of mumps cases have orchitis) and has a direct impact on sperm production in the testicles leading to a decrease or complete loss of spermatogenesis. . Infertility is more common with bilateral orchitis than with unilateral inflammation, especially in adolescents. You need to tell me more about the symptoms of orchitis, and you say that when the swelling is gone, the swelling of the jaw or the swelling of the testicles is gone. For the best, you should go to the pediatric specialist for direct examination and advice.
