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 also have high fever. I am really troubled now. Could you please tell me where it is appropriate to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
1. High fever, chills.2. Testicular pain, accompanied by referred pain in the scrotum, groin, and inguinal region.
3. The affected testicle is swollen and tender. If inflamed, it may feel like a purulent sensation when touched.
4. Often accompanied by scrotal skin redness and swelling, as well as hydrocele.
5. In children, recurrent viral orchitis may sometimes be accompanied by swollen and painful parotid glands. Rest in bed, support the scrotum, and apply local cold compresses. If the scrotal swelling is significant, use a 50% magnesium sulfate solution for hot compresses to aid in reducing inflammation. For severe pain that does not respond well to pain medication, the affected side can undergo spermatic cord isolation. Systemic medication should include broad-spectrum or gram-negative bacteria-sensitive antibiotics, such as penicillin, gentamicin, and various cephalosporins.
