Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently told that I have orchitis. Now, I am in constant pain every day and don't know what to do. Could you please ask: What are the effective treatments for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Hospitals for treating orchitis, for parotid orchitis, antibiotics are ineffective; Chinese herbal medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying can be used to treat orchitis. Immunoglobulin G and convalescent serum from mumps patients, diethylstilbestrol, and prednisone can reduce symptoms of orchitis. Antibiotics and other medications are used to treat orchitis. In severe cases of orchitis, surgery may be necessary, including incision and drainage or orchiectomy. For syphilitic orchitis caused by syphilis, the testicles should be removed first, and further treatment can be decided after pathological examination. Local early cold compresses, and cold compresses in the middle and later stages can reduce symptoms of orchitis and alleviate pain. Orchitis can be treated effectively; as long as the disease is detected early and systematic, effective treatment is implemented, it is entirely possible to prevent testicular damage.
