Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt more, especially when touched, and the other side seems to be swollen as well. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me: What causes orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. Clinical symptoms of orchitis include testicular swelling, pain, and fever. Pain in one testicle should also be considered as a possible case of orchitis. The traditional treatment for epididymitis involves the use of antibiotics and blood-activating medications. Medications can include cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs or quinolone antibiotics, along with the Chinese herbal medicine Longdan Xiegan Wan. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential for patients to actively cooperate with their doctors, use medications appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly.
