Patient's question:
I am a male, 26 years old. 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 it myself, it seemed like there was a lot of liquid inside. I am very scared. Please ask: How is it best to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
How to treat orchitis mainly includes: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 incised and drained.
If you have orchitis, never ignore it. The testes are vital organs for producing sperm. With testicular disease, seek medical treatment immediately to avoid delaying the condition.
The specific examination methods may vary depending on the cause of your orchitis. It is recommended to visit the urology department at the hospital for follow-up. The doctor will conduct relevant tests based on your condition to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment.
Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment.
