Patient's question:
I have had a high fever for 2 days, 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.：What are the best treatments for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of orchitis adopts the approach of "distinguishing between severity and integrating Chinese and Western medicine," which has yielded good results. Traditional Chinese medicine 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 expelling toxins 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 stagnation type acute orchitis: The treatment focuses on promoting blood circulation to resolve stasis and activate blood.
Orchitis tends to recur, 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.
