Patient's question:
I have had a persistent high fever, and I am particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were becoming increasingly painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. After checking at the hospital, it was confirmed to be acute orchitis. Please ask: How should orchitis be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
You should first treat epididymitis, as impotence and premature ejaculation may be related to this condition. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. You can use Bupleurum, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Fructus Meliae, Coptis Rhizoma, Semen Litchi, Semen Citri Sinensis, Alisma, Artemisia Scoparia, Gentiana Scabra, and Plantago Seed, decocted in water and taken orally. Persisting in taking this will help heal the epididymitis. If local pain is significant, you can combine it with cold compress treatment to stabilize the condition. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor during treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
