Patient's question:
I am a 26-year-old male. Last week, I noticed that my testicles were a bit red, but since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. Last night while taking a shower, I accidentally touched my testicles and felt some pain. When I touched them myself, it seemed like there was a lot of liquid inside. I am very scared. Please ask: How should the treatment be effective if I have orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for Orchitis1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered;
2. Rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses and physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia can reduce pain;
3. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed. Early use of sufficient, broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as azithromycin, is recommended.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Orchitis is treatable, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, proper medication, and a light diet are essential. Avoid stimulating foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly.
