Patient's question:
I have had a high fever for 2 days and I am particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. The hospital examination confirmed it was orchitis. Please ask: What is the approximate cost of treating orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, human infection is often caused by the direct spread of epididymitis to the testicles or hematogenous transmission. In clinical diagnosis, it is commonly referred to as epididymitis-orchitis. The primary pathogens are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. Acute orchitis in children is often caused by the mumps virus.Treatment principles:
1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment, bed rest, elevate the scrotum, apply cold compresses and physical therapy. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage may be necessary.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
For severe orchitis patients, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention. Follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment and avoid using medications blindly, as this may worsen the condition.
