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. How is orchitis treated?Doctor's answer:
If it is a recent recurrence of obvious swelling and pain, it should be acute inflammation, and it is necessary to go to the urology department of the hospital as soon as possible for examination and treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs; at the same time, rest well. If it has been long-lasting, it is often chronic epididymitis. In this case, we usually treat it symptomatically during the acute phase, and avoid drinking beer, excessive sexual activity, prolonged sitting, and other precautions. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and regular hospitals and consider treatment based on the examination results. Additionally, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, maintaining personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
