Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I've been feeling like there's some fluid accumulation in the testicles, and they are also red and swollen. Since it's that particular area, it's a bit embarrassing to see a doctor. I've done some research and it seems like it might be caused by orchitis. Question: What should I do first if I have orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, orchitis is mainly caused by infections from Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. It is related to having an unclean sexual history and not paying attention to personal dietary hygiene, consuming spicy and irritating foods. Adequate use of antibiotics, bed rest, elevating the scrotum, local cold compresses, and physical therapy are recommended. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage may be necessary. A bland diet should be maintained, and local hygiene should be kept clean. In addition to standard treatment for orchitis, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and staying active. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
