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. Please ask: How should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hospitals for treating orchitis, for parotid orchitis, antibiotics are ineffective; Chinese herbal medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying can be used to treat orchitis. Blood gamma globulin and convalescent serum from mumps patients, diethylstilbestrol, and cortisone can reduce the symptoms of orchitis. Antibiotics and other medications are used to treat orchitis. In severe cases of orchitis, surgery may be necessary, including drainage or orchiectomy. For syphilitic orchitis caused by syphilis, the testicles should be removed first, and further treatment can be decided after the pathology report. Local early cold compresses, and cold compresses in the middle and later stages, can reduce the symptoms of orchitis and relieve the pain of orchitis. Orchitis can be treated effectively; as long as the disease is detected early and systematic, effective treatment is implemented, it is entirely possible to prevent testicular damage.
