Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt some pain. I got up earlier and seemed to have a fever, which got worse in the afternoon. I'm really worried. Please ask: How is it best to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis; it is caused by mumps virus, and the main pathogens of orchitis mainly include Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc. Treatment; Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, bed rest, elevate the scrotum, local cold compress, physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain; if an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, proper medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
