Patient's question:
Right testicle has been aching and swollen recently, occasionally accompanied by a sensation of heaviness. During the treatment for epididymitis, what care should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is a common disease in men's health, but if it is not treated promptly and appropriately, it can affect sexual function and fertility. Patients with orchitis should rest appropriately and be given antibiotics and general analgesics. Local treatments include cold compresses, physical therapy, and using a scrotal support band to hold the scrotum. If an abscess forms, it may require incision and drainage. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence, whereas delayed treatment can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
