Patient's question:
Checked for epididymitis, the symptoms are testicular pain, a heavy and distended sensation, and a lack of energy, appearing fatigued. How should one treat epididymitis to recover?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is more common in middle-aged and young adults. The course of the disease can be divided into acute orchitis and chronic orchitis. Sexually transmitted orchitis is often caused by the spread of urinary tract inflammation, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis along the vas deferens to the epididymis. It is less common than sexually transmitted infections. of the urethra, such as catheterization, urethral surgery, and post-prostatectomy catheter retention, can easily lead to orchitis. If sexually transmitted orchitis is not treated properly, it can develop into chronic orchitis. Proper rest, antibiotics, and general analgesics should be provided for sexually transmitted orchitis. Cold compresses, physical therapy, and scrotal support can also be effective. If an abscess forms, it may require drainage. Sexually transmitted orchitis is often accompanied by chronic prostatitis, and the general treatment measures are the same as those for chronic prostatitis. Treating prostatitis can also alleviate the symptoms of chronic orchitis.
