How to treat orchitis

Patient's question:

How is orchitis treated? I have orchitis and went to the hospital for treatment. The doctor said it's just a matter of anti-inflammation. How is orchitis treated?

Doctor's answer:

The main symptoms of orchitis are pain and swelling in one testicle, and some may experience a recurrence of fever. After the symptoms of orchitis reappear, there will 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 occur.
After being diagnosed with orchitis, the first step is to administer anti-inflammatory treatment, followed by intravenous fluid therapy, which is faster. Then, wear tight underwear and lower the scrotum to reduce pain. Apply a warm towel to the scrotum daily for cold compress, and it is better to add a little magnesium sulfate. This can slow down the subsidence and resolution of inflammation.
