Patient's question:
I have had high fever for 2 days already, and I am particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. Please ask: What are the best treatments for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of orchitis adopts the approach of "distinguishing between severity and combining Chinese and Western medicine," which has yielded good results. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment primarily targets the following three types, with syndrome differentiation and treatment applied accordingly:(1) Damp-heat lower-jiao type: The treatment focuses on clearing damp-heat and dispelling toxicity to resolve abscesses.
(2) Qi stagnation and blood stasis type acute orchitis: The treatment aims to regulate qi and activate blood circulation, as well as disperse stagnation.
(3) Blood clump delay type acute orchitis: The treatment focuses on promoting blood circulation to resolve stasis and activate blood.
Orchitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek immediate treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, with treatment decisions based on thorough examination results. It is also important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
