Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I noticed my testicles felt a bit swollen. 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 acute orchitis. I'm really worried. Could you please tell me what foods are recommended for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
In this case, medication should not be taken solely based on the diagnosis of epididymitis. It is essential to conduct a thorough examination to determine the type of inflammation and its severity. If the primary symptoms are swelling and pain without fever or severe symptoms, you can initially take levofloxacin for treatment and closely monitor the condition. If necessary, undergo a prompt and detailed examination. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
