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, so I'm really scared. Could you please tell me what I need to pay attention to 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 treated with bed rest, and physical activity should be avoided. Sexual activity should be avoided to prevent excessive frequency, and long periods of sitting should be minimized to reduce congestion in the genital organs, decrease the training pressure on the epididymis, and lower the local resistance of the epididymis. Orchitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be restrained, and a positive mood should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
