Patient's question:
Last week, I noticed that my testicles were a bit red, but since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. Last night while taking a shower, I accidentally touched my testicles and felt a bit of pain. I touched it myself and thought it felt like there was a lot of liquid inside. I was very scared. Please ask: What are the treatment methods for orchitis and how should they be adjusted?Doctor's answer:
Hello1.1% Lidocaine for spermatic cord isolation anesthesia reduces pain;
2. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects;
3. Rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses and physiotherapy;
4. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed, and early use of sufficient, broad-spectrum antibiotics is necessary. It is recommended to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits to enhance the intake of vitamin C and other nutrients, which can help reduce the body's inflammatory response. Acute parotitis and bilateral orchitis can lead to irreversible damage to spermatogenesis, and even testicular atrophy, potentially causing male infertility. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan, proper medication, and a light diet without spicy foods, smoking, or drinking beer are essential. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
