How should one deal with orchitis?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, and I feel very uncomfortable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to know what I should do about this condition.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you are currently describing, the inflammatory reaction of the testicles may cause symptoms such as pain, swelling, and local fever. It is recommended that you visit a professional urology and andrology department to examine the bilateral testicles and epididymis with color Doppler ultrasound. Additionally, blood can be drawn for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Generally, the use of antimicrobial drugs for 1 to 2 weeks can lead to recovery. You can apply heat each night to promote the relief of these symptoms.
