Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a cold, so I thought the fever and chills were caused by the cold. But the fever didn't go down, and when I went to the hospital, the doctor said I had orchitis. I don't know how I got this disease, but I would like to ask: How is orchitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis, early intravenous administration of large doses of broad-spectrum effective antibiotics should be used to control inflammation to prevent the recurrence of purulent orchitis and testicular abscess. Special attention should be paid to orchitis associated with acute mumps, as bilateral inflammation can lead to irreversible damage to spermatogenesis or even testicular atrophy, resulting in male infertility. Prevention is key to this disease. Children under one year old who are susceptible can be vaccinated. The use of live attenuated mumps virus vaccine can prevent mumps and secondary neuron orchitis. Orchitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow and prone to recurrence. Therefore, symptomatic medication must be used during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
