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 which methods of treating orchitis are effective?Doctor's answer:
Principles of Testicular Inflammation Treatment:1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment;
2. Bed rest, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses and physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain.
3. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed.
Principles of Medication Use:
Administer sufficient and broad-spectrum antibiotics early. For example, azithromycin. For patients with testicular inflammation, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to symptoms promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
