Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they started to hurt, especially when touched, and the other side seems to be swollen as well. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me: How can orchitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is often caused by bacterial or viral infections. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc. Treatment can involve antibiotics such as azithromycin or levofloxacin mesylate. If necessary, bacterial culture can be performed, and sensitive medications can be used based on the results. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
