Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently diagnosed with orchitis. Now, I am in constant pain every day and don't know what to do. Please ask: How can orchitis be managed?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis can be divided into acute orchitis and chronic orchitis. Acute orchitis is primarily characterized by sudden onset, high fever, chills, pain in the affected scrotum, tightness and redness of the skin, swelling, urgency and frequency of urination, and significant tenderness, which may lead to second-degree neurilemmoma. Chronic orchitis generally has no systemic symptoms, with gradual swelling of the testes and the formation of a mass. For orchitis, early intravenous administration of large doses of broad-spectrum effective antibiotics should be used to control inflammation, in order to reduce the recurrence of suppurative orchitis and testicular abscesses. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
