Patient's question:
Continuous high fever, and I'm particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. Please ask: Where is the best place to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Oral medication for orchitis involves taking either amoxicillin or cephalexin, combined with levofloxacin. If the acute phase is severe, intravenous medication may be administered. For simple orchitis, treatment can be either oral or intravenous. If orchitis is caused by other factors, the underlying condition must be treated. The treatment duration is typically two weeks or longer. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and spicy or irritating foods should be avoided. Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be based on careful examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are essential. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
