Patient's question:
I am a male, 28 years old, and have no bad habits. However, I was recently diagnosed with orchitis. Now, I feel constant pain in my testicles and sometimes have high fever. I am really troubled. Please ask: How should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Principles of Treatment for Orchitis:1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment;
2. Bed rest, elevating the scrotum, local cold compresses, and physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain.
3. If an abscess forms, it should be drained through incision.
Principles of Medication:
Use adequate, broad-spectrum antibiotics in the early stage. For example, azithromycin. Orchitis is curable, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, proper medication, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet during treatment are essential. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible.
