Patient's question:
Right testicle has been aching and swollen recently, occasionally accompanied by a sensation of heaviness. How should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is common in young and middle-aged men. When the immune system is weakened, bacteria can enter the epididymis, causing inflammation. It often follows urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis. Patients with epididymitis need to consult a urologist for proper, full-course antibiotic intravenous treatment and bed rest, as otherwise the condition is prone to recurrence. Epididymitis can be relieved, but the treatment duration is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
