Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, I feel very uncomfortable. I got tested and was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to ask, how should orchitis be treated to get better?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of orchitis are pain and swelling in one testicle, and some may experience a recurrence of fever. After the symptoms of orchitis reappear, there will be a reduction in the size of the testicle and pain. In severe cases, systemic symptoms such as fever and elevated white blood cell count may occur again.After being diagnosed with orchitis, the first step is to undergo anti-inflammatory treatment, followed by intravenous fluid therapy for a faster recovery. Additionally, underwear should be worn tighter to support the scrotum, which can help reduce pain. A warm towel should be applied to the scrotum daily for cold compress treatment. It is best to add a little magnesium sulfate to speed up the resolution of inflammation.
