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:
Adult infections are often caused by the direct spread of epididymitis to the testes or hematogenous transmission. Clinically, it is commonly referred to as epididymo-orchitis. The pathogens are primarily Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. Acute orchitis in children is often caused by the mumps virus. Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
