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:
Principles of Treatment for Orchitis:1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment;
2. Bed rest, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses and physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain.
3. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed.
Principles of Medication Use:
Administer adequate, broad-spectrum antibiotics early. Medications such as azithromycin are effective for orchitis patients. Timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition, while delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
