How to treat orchitis

Patient's question:

For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they started to hurt, especially when touched, and it's very painful. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Please ask: How is orchitis treated?

Doctor's answer:

Orchitis can be divided into acute orchitis and chronic orchitis. Acute orchitis is primarily characterized by sudden onset, high fever, chills, pain in the affected scrotum, tightness and redness of the skin, swelling, urgency and frequency of urination, and pronounced tenderness, which may lead to. Chronic orchitis generally does not present with systemic symptoms, with the testes gradually swelling and forming a lump.
For orchitis, early intravenous administration of large doses of broad-spectrum effective antibiotics should be used to control inflammation and reduce the recurrence of purulent orchitis and testicular abscesses. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, patients must actively cooperate with their doctors, take medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
