Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing testicular pain and itching recently. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. How should I treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Treatment should be based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests to determine the appropriate medication. Antimicrobial drugs should be used as the foundation, while the patient should also rest in bed, support the scrotum, and reduce symptoms. Sexual activity and physical exertion should be avoided. Early treatment may involve cold compresses to prevent swelling, while later treatment may use cold compresses to accelerate inflammation resolution. Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment duration is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
