Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I had a cold, so I thought the fever and chills were just due to the cold. However, the fever didn't go down, and when I went to the hospital, the doctor said I had orchitis. I don't know how I got this disease in the first place. Could you please tell me: How should orchitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of orchitis can be administered under medical advice with procaine penicillin via intramuscular injection. For patients allergic to penicillin, levofloxacin injection can be used for intravenous drip or gentamicin for intramuscular injection. After the inflammation is somewhat controlled, oral antibiotics such as cephalosporin, cotrimoxazole, or ciprofloxacin should be switched to. Orchitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and proper diet during the treatment period, with the hope that male patients can recover quickly.
