Patient's question:
Pain and swelling near the genital area, lying down can relieve it, but standing for a long time makes it worse, and it also affects sexual life. What should be noted for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Because epididymitis is divided into acute and chronic forms, the treatment also has different focuses. For acute epididymitis, it is recommended that patients rest in bed and support the scrotum to reduce pain. In the early stage, an ice pack can be placed on the epididymis to prevent swelling. In the later stage, cold compress can be used to improve local blood circulation and speed up the resolution of inflammation. The decision on antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory drugs is also very important. Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
