Patient's question:
I am a male, 27 years old, and it has been a while. My testicles have been slightly swollen for a while now, and recently they started to hurt, especially when touched, which is particularly severe. It seems that the other side is also slightly swollen. I am very worried. Please ask: Is it effective to treat orchitis with levofloxacin and cefixime?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is caused by local poor hygiene and ascending infection, such as urinary tract infections, chronic prostatitis, etc. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness in the perineal area at all times, retract the foreskin to clean the glans, and pay attention to local hygiene. Intravenous infusion also includes levofloxacin and third-generation cephalosporins. Drinking more water is also recommended. It is advised that the patient seek treatment immediately and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be addressed, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
