Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and it's particularly intense. It seems there's also some swelling on the other side. I'm very worried. Can you tell me: Is orchitis treatable?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis can be divided into acute orchitis and chronic orchitis. Acute orchitis is primarily characterized by sudden onset, high fever, chills, pain in the affected scrotum, tightness and redness of the skin, swelling, urgency and frequency of urination, and significant tenderness, which may lead to secondary. Chronic orchitis generally does not present with systemic symptoms, and the testicles gradually swell, forming a mass.For orchitis, early intravenous administration of large doses of broad-spectrum effective antibiotics should be used to control inflammation, in order to reduce the recurrence of purulent orchitis and testicular abscesses. The condition of orchitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication maintenance. Additionally, male patients should seek timely diagnosis and treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on examination results.
