Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing testicular swelling and tenderness. The scrotal skin is also slightly red and swollen. After examination, it was diagnosed as orchitis. I'm asking, how should I treat slightly painful and swollen right testicle that feels hard?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may lead to orchitis, so it is recommended to consult with a urologist at the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment with antibiotics such as levofloxacin is advised. It is also recommended that you drink more water, ensure deep sleep, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. For patients with male reproductive health issues, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may 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.
