Mumps is a viral infection that can lead to serious complications, including inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), swelling of the testicles (orchitis) in males, and ovarian inflammation in females, which can result in fertility issues. Other risks include hearing loss and complications such as pancreatitis. While mumps is often mild in children, its potential for severe health problems makes vaccination important for prevention.
