Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a lot of pain in my testicles, and this week alone I've had a fever 52 times. I usually feel cold, and when I take a bath, I feel like there's a lot of liquid inside my testicles. Please ask: How should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of orchitis are pain and swelling in one testicle, with some experiencing a recurrence of fever. After the symptoms of orchitis reappear, there may be a reduction in the size of the testicle and pain. In severe cases, systemic symptoms such as fever and elevated white blood cell count may also occur.When diagnosed with orchitis, the first step is to administer anti-inflammatory treatment, followed by intravenous fluid therapy for a faster recovery. Additionally, underwear should be worn tighter and the scrotum should be lowered to reduce pain. A warm towel should be applied to the scrotum daily for cold compress, preferably with a bit of magnesium sulfate, which can slow down the subsidence and absorption of inflammation.
