Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and it's particularly severe. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Please ask: What methods can be used to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is often caused by bacterial or viral infections. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc. Treatment can involve antibiotics such as azithromycin or levofloxacin hydrochloride. If necessary, bacterial culture can be performed, and sensitive medications can be used based on the results. Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and reputable medical attention promptly. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is advisable to abstain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
