About Mumps. Mumps is a disease caused by a virus that usually spreads through saliva (spit). It can infect many parts of the body, especially the parotid salivary glands. These glands, which make saliva for the mouth, are found toward the back of each cheek, in the area between the ear and jaw. In cases of mumps, these glands typically swell and become painful.
Mumps is a virus that classically causes painful swelling of the parotid glands (saliva glands). Before the vaccine became available, it was an extremely common childhood infection.When adults or adolescents get mumps the infection is more serious, often with orchitis (inflammation of the testicles).umps has been a common disease for centuries. Hippocrates wrote about it almost 2500 years ago. Itâs not all that serious an illness. It doesnât even affect male fertility the way that most people think.
