Patient's question:
Still very swollen and painful. I have already received intravenous drips for 6 days, using penicillin and cephalexin, taking azithromycin granules, and applying blood-activating and anti-inflammatory ointment. The condition hasn't improved yet. How should testicular inflammation be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello, orchitis is usually caused by bacterial or viral infections. The common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc. The most common virus is the mumps virus, which is often associated with mumps. Bacterial orchitis is more common. Follow medical advice and take procaine penicillin for intramuscular injection. Patients allergic to penicillin can receive ciprofloxacin lactate for intravenous drip or gentamicin for intramuscular injection. After the inflammation is controlled, oral antibiotics such as cephalosporin, cotrimoxazole, or ofloxacin can be used. Orchitis is a disease that is not easy to recover from. Friends with orchitis should always maintain an optimistic attitude and actively face it. Only in this way can they improve their confidence in fighting orchitis, because in this way they are sure to recover.
