Patient's question:
Testicular pain, with radiating pain in the scrotum, groin, and inner thigh area. The doctor said it's orchitis, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
For orchitis caused by mumps, antibiotics are ineffective. Traditional Chinese medicine heat-clearing and detoxifying agents can be used to treat orchitis. Blood plasma and convalescent serum from mumps patients, as well as drugs such as diethylstilbestrol and cortisone, can reduce the symptoms of orchitis. Antibiotics and other medications are used to treat orchitis. In severe cases of orchitis, surgery may be necessary, including incision and drainage or orchiectomy. For syphilitic orchitis caused by syphilis, the testicles should first be removed, and further treatment should be decided after the pathological report. Local early cold compresses can be applied, and cold compresses can be used in the middle and later stages to reduce the symptoms of orchitis and alleviate the pain.
