Patient's question:
I am a 30-year-old male. Suddenly, I felt some discomfort in my body, but I don't know what's wrong. Please ask: How to treat scrotal inflammation?Doctor's answer:
1. General treatment: Bed rest, support the scrotum, and apply local cold compresses.2. Western medicine treatment: For scrotal inflammation with significant swelling of the scrotal skin, apply warm compresses with a solution to facilitate inflammation reduction. If severe pain is not relieved by pain medication, the affected side spermatic cord can be isolated.
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation treatment: Chinese medicine primarily uses herbs that harmonize the body, remove toxicity, clear heat, and promote diuresis. Both herbal decoctions based on basic formulas and prepared medicines can be used. Herbs that clear heat and detoxify can also be taken internally for the affected area.
4. Surgical treatment: If a abscess has formed in the scrotum, consider draining the pus or performing incision and drainage. If the scrotum is completely destroyed due to inflammation, the affected testicle can be removed. Enhance personal hygiene and promptly control bodily infections. It is recommended to visit a sexual health clinic.
