What should be done about orchitis?

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 orchitis. What should I do about orchitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you are currently describing, the inflammatory response in the testicles can cause pain, swelling, and local fever. It is recommended that you visit a professional urology and andrology department for a color Doppler ultrasound examination of both testicles and epididymides. Additionally, blood tests can be conducted for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Generally, the use of antibacterial medications for 1 to 2 weeks can lead to normal recovery. You can apply heat each night to promote the relief of these symptoms.
