Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing intermittent pain in the testicles. After checking into the hospital, they found it was orchitis. How is the treatment effect?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis and epididymitis are often caused by bacterial or viral infections. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, E. coli, etc. Bacterial culture can be performed, and sensitive medications can be used based on the results. Alternatively, traditional Chinese medicine can be consulted, and treatments such as clearing heat and eliminating dampness can be adopted based on syndrome differentiation.In daily life, pay attention to rest, avoid tight clothing, and keep the area loose and breathable. Local cold compresses or medicinal baths can be appropriately applied to promote inflammation subsidence.
Orchitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is common after recovery. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment.
