Patient's question:
I currently feel constant pain in my testicles every day, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really struggling right now. Could you please advise on the best way to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is one of the common and frequent diseases in men, and it is related to bacterial and viral infections. After confirmation and diagnosis, intravenous antibiotics should be administered to control the inflammation. During treatment, rest in bed, avoid excessive exercise, clean the external genitalia regularly, elevate the scrotum with cold compresses to promote the resolution of inflammation, and refrain from sexual activity and alcohol consumption. Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
