Patient's question:
I am a 26-year-old male. Last week, I noticed that my testicles were a bit red, but since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. Last night while taking a shower, I accidentally touched my testicles and felt some pain. When I touched them myself, it seemed like there was a lot of liquid inside. I am very scared. Please ask: What is the best way to treat and recover from orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of orchitis adopts the approach of "distinguishing between severity and combining Chinese and Western medicine," which has yielded good results. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment primarily targets the following three types, with syndrome differentiation and treatment applied accordingly:(1) Damp-heat accumulation type: The treatment focuses on clearing damp-heat and expelling toxins to resolve abscesses.
(2) Qi stagnation and blood stasis type acute orchitis: The treatment aims to regulate qi and promote blood circulation, as well as disperse stagnation.
(3) Blood clump retention type acute orchitis: The treatment focuses on promoting blood circulation to resolve stasis and expel blood clumps.
For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should promptly take medication and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
