How to treat orchitis

Patient's question:

Continuous high fever, and I'm especially afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed 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:

Orchitis is often caused by bacterial or viral infections. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, E. coli, etc. Treatment can involve antibiotics such as azithromycin or levofloxacin mesylate. If necessary, bacterial culture can be performed, and sensitive medications can be used based on the results. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
