Patient's question:
No bad habits, but I was recently diagnosed with orchitis. Now I feel severe pain in my testicles every day, and sometimes I have high fever. I'm really troubled now. Could you please tell me how to relieve orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Before treatment, it is important to identify the cause of your condition. Orchitis is divided into viral orchitis and bacterial orchitis. Viral orchitis is more common after mumps, while bacterial orchitis is often associated with epididymitis. The main symptoms include fever, swelling and pain in the testicles, and referred pain to the groin. It is recommended to seek medical attention for proper treatment. If it is bacterial orchitis, bed rest is necessary, and cold compresses on the scrotum can help reduce swelling. Sensitive antibiotics should be taken for 7-10 days. Pay attention to your diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited during treatment. Sexual activity is strictly forbidden during the treatment period. If it is viral orchitis, antiviral treatment is required. The condition of viral orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
