Patient's question:
I noticed that the skin on my testicles is particularly red, and it seems a bit swollen. It also hurts when I touch it. This symptom has not improved after a week. I'm still young and haven't even been married. I'm really scared. Could you please tell me what precautions should be taken when treating epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, orchitis should be treated with anti-inflammatory therapy. Cold compresses should be applied frequently to the scrotal area to improve blood circulation and accelerate the resolution of inflammation. Acute orchitis should be managed with bed rest, and physical activity should be avoided. Sexual activity should be avoided or minimized to prevent excessive congestion in the genital organs, reduce training pressure on the epididymis, and enhance local resistance. The condition of orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and a positive mood should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
