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 is the best way to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The Chinese medicine treatment for orchitis primarily uses herbs that expel toxicity, clear heat, and promote diuresis. Herbal decoctions or patent medicines based on the basic formula of Longdan Xiegan Tang can be used. Golden Cream, another type of heat-clearing and detoxifying herb, can be taken orally for the affected area. If a abscess has already formed in the testicle, consider draining the pus or performing incisional drainage. If the testicle is completely destroyed due to inflammation, the affected testicle can be removed. Improving personal hygiene and promptly controlling the body's infection are important for orchitis patients. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease, while delayed treatment can affect health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
