Patient's question:
I have mild testicular inflammation. Currently, the testicles are of uneven size and there is a dull pain. I would like to ask about the contraindications for treating testicular inflammation.Doctor's answer:
Orchitis and epididymitis are often caused by bacterial or viral infections. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc. The most common virus is the mumps virus, which is often associated with mumps. In adults, bacterial infections are more common. Treatment can include antibiotics such as azithromycin and levofloxacin hydrochloride. If necessary, bacterial culture can be performed, and sensitive medications can be used based on the results. It is recommended to eat light and avoid spicy foods. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can also be sought, where treatments such as clearing heat and eliminating dampness can be adopted based on syndrome differentiation. Medications like San Miao Wan, Huang Bai Jiao Nang, and Long Dan Xie Gan Wan can be used according to syndrome differentiation.
