Patient's question:
I feel like I might have epididymitis. I noticed that the skin of my testicles is particularly red, and it seems a bit swollen. It also hurts when I touch it. These symptoms have persisted for a week without any improvement. I'm still young and haven't even been married yet. I'm really scared. Could you please tell me what the best treatment for epididymitis is?Doctor's answer:
Friend. Regarding orchitis, it is like this. Orchitis can be divided into acute orchitis and chronic orchitis. Acute orchitis is primarily characterized by sudden onset, high fever, chills, pain in the affected scrotum, tightness and redness of the skin, swelling, urgency and frequency of urination, and significant tenderness, which may lead to second-degree neurilemmal cysts. Chronic orchitis generally has no systemic symptoms, with gradual swelling of the testes and the formation of a mass. For orchitis, early intravenous administration of large amounts of broad-spectrum effective antibiotics should be used to control inflammation and reduce the recurrence of suppurative orchitis and testicular abscesses. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital for treatment and obtain medication under the guidance of a doctor. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment.
