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 features of orchitis are the recurrence of testicular pain and swelling in patients. During acute orchitis, in addition to high fever, symptoms such as inflammation often occur. The treatment for orchitis generally involves early bed rest, elevating the affected side, and applying local cold compresses. Additionally, medication is used. If a testicular abscess has formed, it may require drainage through incision. Men should pay attention to consuming a variety of healthy foods and focus on light, nutritious diets that have the effects of clearing heat, promoting diuresis, and expelling toxins, which greatly benefits the complete recovery of orchitis. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility.
