Patient's question:
I am a male, 6 years old. About a week ago, I noticed that my testicles were a bit red. Since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. While taking a bath late, I accidentally touched my testicles and felt a bit of pain. When I touched it myself, it seemed like there was a lot of liquid inside, and I was very scared. Question: If I got testicular inflammation, how should I treat it to get better?Doctor's answer:
Hello, most cases of testicular inflammation are caused by bacterial or viral infections or secondary infections from adjacent tissue inflammation. Intravenous antibiotics are used to control the infection, and surgical treatment is not required. Rest in bed, maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, elevate the scrotum, and apply cold compresses to promote the resolution of inflammation. Strictly prohibit sexual activity and intercourse during this period. Avoid extremely cold and spicy foods, as well as alcohol and smoking, to prevent affecting recovery. In addition, during the treatment of testicular inflammation, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of testicular inflammation.
