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 to recover quickly?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is a common cause of testicular pain. There are many reasons that can lead to orchitis, such as patients with mumps, who may develop secondary orchitis, resulting in testicular pain and swelling; gonorrhea is currently the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease, and in severe cases, it can cause orchitis, leading to testicular pain. Treatment for orchitis: 1. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatment; 2. Rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses and physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block to reduce pain; 3. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed! Use a sufficient amount of antibiotics in the early stage.
