Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing testicular pain and itching recently. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I have developed testicular inflammation. What are the treatment methods for testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
The typical characteristics of orchitis are the recurrence of testicular pain and redness/swelling in patients. During acute orchitis, in addition to high fever, symptoms such as inflammation often occur.The treatment of orchitis generally involves early bed rest, elevating the affected side, and applying local cold compresses. Medications are also used. If a testicular abscess has formed, drainage through incision is necessary.
Men should pay attention to consuming healthy foods and focus on light, nourishing diets that have the effects of clearing heat, promoting diuresis, and expelling toxins. This greatly benefits the complete recovery from orchitis.
For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility.
