Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt some pain. I woke up earlier and seemed to have a fever, which got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I am really very worried. Could you please tell me how to prevent orchitis and how it should be treated?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis can be caused by various factors, such as bacterial infections, viral infections, and aseptic inflammation. For this condition, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine treatments that clear heat and detoxify, as well as regulate the body's constitution, to effectively stabilize symptoms. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and orchitis can be stabilized. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to use medications that are appropriate for the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
