Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I noticed my testicles felt a bit swollen. I woke up earlier and thought I might have a fever, and by the afternoon, it became worse. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I'm really very worried. Please ask: How should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed that you have orchitis, and it is caused by a bacterial infection, you can actively treat it with medication. I hope you don't have too much stress. Currently, you can choose to receive intravenous penicillin or similar drugs for anti-inflammatory treatment. During this period, you should still pay close attention and monitor your condition. Most cases of orchitis can be relieved with at least 3 days of intravenous treatment. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor, take the medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer. I hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
