Patient's question:
Fever has been high and I am 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: How is orchitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Principles of Testicular Torsion Treatment:1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment;
2. Bed rest, elevate the scrotum, local cold compresses, and physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain.
3. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed.
Principles of Medication Use:
Use sufficient and broad-spectrum antibiotics in the early stage, such as azithromycin. Testicular torsion tends to recur, requiring long-term medication maintenance. Additionally, male patients should promptly seek professional and reputable medical treatment, with treatment decisions based on examination results. It is also important to refrain from sexual activity, maintain a positive mood, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
