Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I had a cold. Since I had a fever and chills, I thought it was just the cold. But the fever wouldn't go down. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said I had orchitis. I don't know how I got this disease out of nowhere. I ask: What are the symptomatic treatment methods for 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 necessary. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed. A bland diet should be maintained, and local hygiene must 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 engaging in outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
