Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I noticed my testicles felt a bit swollen. I woke up earlier and seemed to have a fever, which got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have acute orchitis. I'm really very worried. Could you please tell me what effective methods are there for treating orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis treatment is an issue we all pay attention to. Antibiotics are beneficial for treatment, and secondary cystitis will heal quickly on its own. Antibiotics should be selected based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Commonly used medications include co-trimoxazole, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and other third-generation and fourth-generation quinolone antibiotics, as well as cephalosporin drugs, all of which have good efficacy. The most common pathogens causing epididymitis are Escherichia coli. Early epididymitis is a cellulitis that starts in the vas deferens and spreads to the tail of the epididymis. There are many medications for treating epididymitis, but patients should not use them arbitrarily based on their own ideas. This not only fails to cure the condition but may also worsen it.
