Patient's question:
I feel like I might have orchitis. I noticed that the skin on my testicles is particularly red, and it seems a bit swollen. It also hurts when I touch it. These symptoms have persisted for a week without any improvement. I'm still young and haven't even been married yet. I'm really scared. Could you please tell me: what methods are used to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
First, if male patients suffer from orchitis, they will usually experience symptoms such as testicular swelling and pain. In such cases, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. If the diagnosis is orchitis, it is advised to take oral cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs. If symptoms such as fever appear, intravenous infusion of anti-inflammatory drugs is recommended for treatment. At the same time, it is suggested to wear cotton underwear, as orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
