During mumps orchitis, the scrotum is tender and inflamed. It occurs in 10–40% of pubertal and post-pubertal males who contract mumps. Usually, mumps orchitis affects only one testis but in 10–30%<ref name=masarani /> of cases both are affected. Mumps orchitis is accompanied by inflammation of the [[epididymis]], called [[epididymitis]], about 85% of the time, typically occurring before orchitis. The onset of mumps orchitis is associated with a high-grade fever, vomiting, headache, and malaise.<ref name=rubin /><ref name=davis /> In prepubertal males, orchitis is rare as symptoms are usually restricted to parotitis.<ref name=davis /> A variety of other inflammatory conditions may also occur as a result of mumps virus infection, including:<ref name=rubin /> * [[Mastitis]], inflammation of the breasts, in up to about 30% of post-pubertal women<ref name=shu >{{cite journal |vauthors=Shu M, Zhang YQ, Li Z, Liu GJ, Wan C, Wen Y |date=18 April 2015 |title=Chinese medicinal herbs for mumps |journal=Cochrane Database Syst Rev |volume=2015 |issue=4 |pages=CD008578 |doi=10.1002/14651858.CD008578.pub3 |pmc=7198052 |pmid=25887348 }}</ref> * [[Oophoritis]], inflammation of an ovary, in 5–10% of post-pubertal women, which usually presents as pelvic pain * Aseptic [[meningitis]], inflammation of the meninges, in 5–10% of cases<ref name=latner >{{cite journal |vauthors=Latner DR, Hickman CJ |date=7 May 2015 |title=Remembering mumps |journal=PLOS Pathog |volume=11 |issue=5 |pages=e1004791 |doi=10.1371/journal.ppat.1004791 |pmc=4423963 |pmid=25951183 |doi-access=free }}</ref> and 4–6% of those with parotitis, typically occurring 4–10 days after the onset of symptoms.
