Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt a bit of pain. I woke up earlier and seemed to have a fever, which got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I'm really very worried. Please ask: How should I treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Hospitals for treating orchitis, for parotid orchitis, antibiotics are ineffective. Chinese herbal medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying can be used to treat orchitis. Blood plasma and convalescent serum from mumps patients, diethylstilbestrol, and cortisone can reduce the symptoms of orchitis. Antibiotics and other medications are used to treat orchitis. In severe cases of orchitis, surgery may be necessary, including incision and drainage or orchiectomy. For syphilitic orchitis caused by syphilis, the testicles should be removed first, and further treatment can be decided after the pathological report. Local early cold compresses, and cold compresses in the middle and later stages can reduce the symptoms of orchitis, and relieve the pain of orchitis.
