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 it feels particularly severe. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me how to treat orchitis to feel better?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis, the main pathogens are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. Acute orchitis in children is often caused by the mumps virus. Rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses, and physiotherapy. 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia can reduce pain. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and a proper diet during treatment. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
