Patient's question:
Male, 24 years old, has been running back and forth to the hospital many times, but the effect is always not obvious, and the condition has been recurring. Please ask: How should scrotal inflammation be treated to ensure stability?Doctor's answer:
1. General treatment: Rest in bed, support the scrotum, and apply local cold compresses.2. Western medicine treatment: For scrotal inflammation with significant swelling of the scrotal skin, use warm compresses with a solution to aid in reducing inflammation. For severe pain that does not respond well to 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 blood, promote toxin drainage, clear heat, and reduce dampness. 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: For the formation of an abscess in the scrotum, consider draining the abscess 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 the body's infection.
