Patient's question:
Recently, I've always felt pain in my testicles, and this week alone I've had a fever 8 times. Usually, I feel cold, and when I take a shower, I touch my testicles and feel like there's a lot of liquid inside. Please ask: How is it treated after getting orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be orchitis. Orchitis is mostly caused by bacterial invasion of the testicles, with transmission routes primarily based on retrograde transmission. It often occurs in patients with lower urinary tract infections, prostatitis, post-urethral surgery, and those with long-term indwelling catheters, leading to epididymo-orchitis. It can also spread hematogenously to the testicles, resulting in isolated orchitis. Treatment should be based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests to determine the medication, with antimicrobial drugs as the foundation. Additionally, bed rest and scrotal support should be provided to alleviate symptoms, prevent sexual activity and physical exertion. In the early stages, cold compresses can be applied to prevent swelling, while in the later stages, cold compresses can accelerate inflammation resolution. Wishing you good health. Sexual intercourse is a normal sexual activity for mature men.
