Patient's question:
I feel like I might have orchitis. I noticed that the skin on my testicles is particularly red and seems a bit swollen, and it's also very painful. After a week, the symptoms haven't improved at all. I'm young and not married, and I'm really scared. Question: How should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis, early intravenous administration of large amounts of broad-spectrum effective antibiotics to control inflammation, can increase the recurrence of purulent orchitis and testicular abscess. It should be noted that acute mumps orchitis can lead to irreversible damage to spermatogenesis and even testicular atrophy on both sides, resulting in male infertility. In addition to timely treatment of orchitis, it is necessary to maintain a positive attitude when facing the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and symptomatic treatment. It is important to pay attention to dietary care and maintain a balanced nutrition, which can definitely drive away orchitis.
