Patient's question:
I am a male, 28 years old, and have no bad habits. However, I was recently diagnosed with orchitis. Now, I feel constant pain in my testicles, and sometimes I have high fever. I am really troubled now. Please ask: Is epididymitis and purulent orchitis treatable?Doctor's answer:
Youth testicular epididymitis should first be ruled out for tuberculosis. If there is high fever, it indicates a severe condition. In the first week, we can consider using third-generation cephalosporin drugs or levofloxacin, combined with dexamethasone for intravenous drip treatment. For the following three weeks, oral antibiotic treatment can be considered. Additionally, patients should drink more water and avoid spicy and irritating foods.Facing the impact of epididymitis, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and not avoid seeking medical attention. If epididymitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
