Patient's question:
Male, 30 years old, testicles are particularly swollen and painful. A bit embarrassed to go to the hospital for a check-up, not sure if it's inflammation. How is testitis treated to get betterDoctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is mostly caused by bacterial or viral infections, or secondary infections from adjacent tissue inflammation. Intravenous antibiotics can be administered to suppress the infection. Surgical treatment is not required at the moment. Rest in bed, maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, elevate the scrotum, and apply cold compresses to promote the resolution of inflammation. During this period, sexual activity and intercourse are strictly prohibited. Avoid extremely cold and spicy foods, as well as smoking and alcohol, to prevent hindering recovery. Testicular inflammation can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
