Epidemic charges of a contagious infectious disease, the causative agent of which is a paramixirus virus, which has affinity for the cells of ferruginous organs. A favorite habitat of the virus in the human body is salivary glands, here the virus multiplies and stands out with saliva to the external environment. However, other organs are involved in the pathological process, for example, sex glands are involved.

Orchitis and epidididimitis: symptoms
The incubation period of the epidemic vapotitis is 15-21 days. During this time, the virus breeds and accumulates in the body, then enters the blood and is distributed throughout the body, causing inflammation of ferrous organs and the inxication phenomenon.
First manifestations «Ginger» There are ailments, deterioration of appetite, lethargy, increasing body temperature, chills, that is, signs of general intoxication peculiar to all infectious diseases. The damage to the salivary glands is evidenced by the pain in the throat and the feeling of tension in the corner of the lower jaw. During the first 3 days, the varnish salivary glands increase in size, become painful, borne-like consistency acquire.
Inflammation of egg tissues (orchit) and inflammation of the appendage of eggs (epididimitis) are developing on 5-8 days from the beginning of the disease. By this time, the salivary glands acquire normal sizes, and the child's condition becomes satisfactory. Involvement in the inflammatory process of the genital glands is accompanied by re-climbing body temperature to 39-400 s and the appearance of pain in the scrotum area. The pain is strong, gives in the course of the thigh and in the lower departments of the abdomen, intensifying when urinating, almost paralyzes and interferes normally move.

Epidemic Parotitis: Consequences of the Benefication of the Greets
More often, orchites are one-way, but 3-17% of patients defeat the testicles wears bilateral character. With a favorable coincidence, even a bilateral process does not cause testicle atrophy, but in half cases, a fault orchite leads to the death of spermatogenic epithelium and subsequent infertility. Sex sterility does not occur, but the composition of sperm changes to the worse. Because of the violation of the hormonal function of the germ, the level of testosterone is reduced, the main male hormone, which entails remote consequences in the form of a decrease in sexual function.
Future men need protection
Protect the boy from complications only vaccination from epidemic parotitis. Vaccination creates intense immunity, preventing infection with the virus «Ginger».
For specific vapor prevention, live vaccines are commonly used, which are obtained from the dedicated pathogen strain. Vaccine viruses are deactivated, that is, devoid of abilities «call» The disease, but their proteins, antigens, become a signal for the immune system of the child to the beginning of the production of specific antibodies. The level of protection reaches Maxim after 6 weeks from the moment of vaccination.
