Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt some pain. I woke up earlier and seemed to have a fever, which got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I'm really very worried. Could you please tell me: what are the common solutions for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is one of the common and frequent diseases among 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 or alcohol consumption. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
