Patient's question:
I have had a high fever for 2 days, and I am particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. Please ask: What are the diagnostic criteria for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis can be caused by various factors, such as bacterial infections, viral infections, and aseptic inflammation. For the latter, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine treatments that clear heat and detoxify, as well as nourish the body's constitution, to effectively stabilize symptoms. Paying attention to a light diet in daily life can help alleviate orchitis. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, it is crucial to use medications that are appropriate for the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
