Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I always feel like there's something in my testicles, and they are red and swollen. But because it's that private area, I feel a bit embarrassed to see a doctor. I did some research and think it might be testicular inflammation. Could you please ask: How can epididymitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Based on the diagnostic evidence, symptoms include high fever, chills, testicular pain, localized scrotal redness and swelling, testicular enlargement, and a decrease in blood white cells, severely affecting physical and mental health. Therefore, active treatment should be provided for orchitis. The treatment principle for orchitis patients is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, requiring bed rest, elevating the scrotum, local cold compresses, physical therapy, and spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain. If an abscess forms, it should be drained through incision.Avoid spicy and irritating foods, smoking, and drinking beer. Do not stand or sit for long periods, engage in excessive sexual activity, or have frequent sexual intercourse. Instead, consume more fresh vegetables and fruits to enhance the intake of vitamin C and other components, thereby boosting the body's anti-inflammatory ability.
Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan is essential, and appropriate measures should be taken.
