Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt a bit swollen. This morning, it seemed like I had a fever, and by noon, it got worse. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I'm really worried. Question: Where are the more professional places for treating 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 should be kept clean. In addition to receiving proper 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 in order to achieve good therapeutic effects.
