Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I often feel like there's fluid accumulating in the testicles, and they are both red and swollen. However, because it's a sensitive area, it's a bit embarrassing to see a doctor. I did some research and think it might be caused by orchitis. Could you please tell me: How should orchitis be treated to get better?Doctor's answer:
Adulthood infection is often caused by the direct spread of epididymitis to the testes 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 is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and reputable medical treatment, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are recommended. Finally, wishing all patients a speedy recovery.
