Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I always feel like there's fluid accumulation in the testicles, and they are red and swollen. However, because it's that particular area, it's a bit embarrassing to see a doctor. I did some research and think it might be testicular inflammation. Could you please tell me: How is testicular inflammation treated?Doctor's answer:
Before treatment, it is important to determine the cause of your condition. Orchitis is divided into viral orchitis and bacterial orchitis. Viral orchitis is more common after mumps, while bacterial orchitis is often associated with epididymitis. The main symptoms include fever, swelling and pain in the testicles, and referred pain to the groin. It is recommended to seek medical attention for proper treatment. If it is bacterial orchitis, bed rest is necessary, and cold compresses on the scrotum can help reduce swelling. Sensitive antibiotics should be taken for 7-10 days. Pay attention to your diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Alcohol consumption is prohibited during treatment. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during the treatment period. If it is viral orchitis, antiviral treatment can help alleviate the symptoms.
