Patient's question:
Male, 26 years old, I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day at work, I sit down, and I'm very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently told that I have orchitis. Now, I'm in great pain every day and don't know what to do. Please ask: What medication is most effective for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it may be caused by viral infections leading to immunogenic orchitis, among which most cases are epididymitis. If it is epididymitis accompanied by fever, intravenous antibiotics can be administered. If there is no fever, oral antibiotics can be used. If the orchitis is caused by a virus, antiviral treatment is required. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
