Patient's question:
Left testicle has been aching and swollen recently. Could you please help me understand what this condition is and what methods are effective for treating epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Acute orchitis is often caused by urinary tract infections and the spread of inflammation from the prostate and seminal vesicles. In clinical diagnosis, antibiotic treatment is commonly used. If treatment is not timely or thorough, it often becomes chronic, leading to swollen and painful scrotum, and affecting fertility. If bacterial culture + drug sensitivity testing is performed, it is best to choose medication based on the drug sensitivity results. It is recommended to follow the treatment plan recommended by the doctor. In terms of the impact of your current condition on your body, the side effects of the medication are not that significant, so there is no need to worry too much. Orchitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to go to a professional and regular hospital for diagnosis immediately, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results.
