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. What are some effective methods to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital for proper treatment. If it is bacterial orchitis, bed rest is necessary, and cold compresses on the scrotum can help reduce swelling. Sensitive bacteria antibiotics should be used for 7-10 days. Pay attention to your diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Alcohol consumption is prohibited. Sexual activity is strictly forbidden during treatment. If it is viral orchitis, antiviral treatment is required. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
