Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my testicles, and this week alone, I've had a fever 13 times. I usually feel cold, and when I take a bath, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of liquid. Please ask: How should testicular inflammation be treated and managed?Doctor's answer:
Adulthood infection is often caused by the direct spread of epididymitis to the testis or hematogenous transmission. Clinically, it is commonly referred to as epididymitis-orchitis. The pathogens are mainly Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. Acute orchitis in children is often caused by the mumps virus.Treatment principles:
1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment.
2. Bed rest, elevate the scrotum, local cold compresses, and physical therapy.
3. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
