Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt a bit of pain. 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 had acute orchitis. I'm really very worried. Please ask: How should I treat orchitis after it appears?Doctor's answer:
Chronic epididymitis may not yield ideal results solely through medication. In addition to using effective broad-spectrum antibiotics, local cold compresses and other physical therapies are also very necessary. Local application of berberine or neomycin for iontophoresis treatment to the epididymis can also be considered. If chronic prostatitis is present, it must be treated concurrently. Epididymitis that recurs repeatedly due to chronic prostatitis may consider vasectomy before further treatment. For those who experience frequent relapses, epididymectomy may also be considered. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor and proper medication during treatment is essential.
