What should be done if you have orchitis?

Patient's question:

I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently told that I have orchitis. Now, I am in constant pain every day and don't know what to do. Please ask: What should I do if I have orchitis?

Doctor's answer:

Treatment of Orchitis
1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered;
2. Rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses and physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia can reduce pain;
3. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed! Early use of sufficient, broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as azithromycin, is recommended. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
The condition of orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical attention immediately. Treatment should be planned based on examination results. Additionally, avoid smoking and alcohol consumption, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
