Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen with a dull ache. Recently, they started to hurt, especially when touched, and it's particularly severe. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Please ask: What are the treatment methods for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular, besides hematogenous transmission, is more commonly caused by bacteria retrograding from the urethra to the epididymis and testes, leading to epididymitis and orchitis. Some pain may recur after sexual activity, which may be due to the high congestion of the genital organs and genital glands caused by sexual arousal. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a thorough examination and to implement symptomatic treatment based on the confirmed cause. Testicular is recoverable, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and the adoption of good lifestyle habits and dietary practices are advised during treatment. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
