Patient's question:
I feel like I might have orchitis. I noticed that the skin on my testicles is particularly red, and it seems a bit swollen. It also hurts when I touch it. These symptoms have persisted for a week without any improvement. I'm still young and haven't even been married yet. I'm really scared. Could you please tell me: What is the best way to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Adult infection is often caused by the direct spread of epididymitis to the testes or hematogenous infection. Clinically, it is commonly referred to as epididymitis-orchitis. The pathogens are mainly Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. Acute orchitis in children is often caused by the mumps virus. It is recommended that you visit a formal urological hospital for a thorough examination to determine the condition. Diseases are constantly spreading, so based on your condition and additional examinations to confirm the diagnosis, targeted treatment should be implemented. Wishing you a speedy recovery.Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly.
