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 I also have high fever. I am really troubled now. Please ask: What are the symptoms of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is generally caused by retrograde infection of sensitive bacteria, manifesting as swelling and pain in the affected testicle. The pain is usually severe and may also be accompanied by referred pain in the perineal area. It is more common in young and middle-aged adults. Amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium and metronidazole tablets can be taken in combination with local cold compress treatment. However, it is relatively rare in children under 8 years old, and it is recommended to consult a surgeon at the hospital for a follow-up diagnosis to determine whether the scrotal swelling is caused by a hernia or hydrocele. Testicular inflammation can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover quickly.
