Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I noticed my testicle felt a bit swollen. I woke up earlier and thought I might have a fever, and it 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 how to treat a hardened right testicle?Doctor's answer:
You have been diagnosed with high-risk tuberculosis. In cases of severe local caseous purulent changes, surgical removal of the affected testicle may be necessary. This treatment also involves antitubercular therapy.Medical Advice: The main antitubercular drugs include isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, and streptomycin. Due to the need for collaborative, sufficient, regular, and full-course medication in antitubercular treatment, the treatment period is typically long, lasting about 6 months. Additionally, the drugs have certain side effects on the liver, kidneys, and ears. During treatment, close cooperation with your attending physician, adherence to medication, and regular follow-up tests for liver and kidney function are required.
The tuberculosis treatment drugs are half-priced, and some hospital stays can be prepaid. The surgery only involves surgical costs, and after removal, the related disease can be completely cured.
