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'm really worried. Please ask: How can orchitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis, the main pathogens are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. Acute orchitis in children is often caused by the mumps virus. Rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses, and physiotherapy. 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia reduces pain. Orchitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
