Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week alone, I've had a fever twice. Usually, I feel cold, and when I take a bath, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of liquid. Please ask: How can orchitis be treated quickly?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. Most bacterial orchitis is caused by inflammation of the adjacent epididymis, so it is also known as epididymo-orchitis. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc. Viruses can directly attack the testicles, with mumps virus being the most common. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, smoking, drinking alcohol, prolonged standing or sitting, excessive sexual activity, and frequent sexual intercourse. Antimicrobial drugs should be used promptly, such as amoxicillin and ribavirin. Orchitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
