Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently told that I have orchitis. Now, I am in constant pain every day and don't know what to do. Please ask: How can orchitis be treated quickly?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. Most bacterial orchitis is caused by inflammation of the adjacent epididymis, so it is also called epididymo-orchitis. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc. Viruses can directly attack the testicles, with mumps virus being the most common. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, smoking, drinking alcohol, prolonged standing or sitting, excessive sexual activity, and frequent sexual intercourse. Antimicrobial drugs should be used promptly, such as amoxicillin and ribavirin. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
