Patient's question:
Now every day I feel severe pain in my testicles, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really troubled now. Please ask: How can orchitis be treated quickly?Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be orchitis, orchitis is mostly caused by bacterial invasion of the testicles. The transmission routes are primarily based on retrograde transmission. It often occurs in patients with lower urinary tract infections, prostatitis, post-urethral surgery, and those with long-term indwelling catheters, leading to epididymo-orchitis. It can also spread hematogenously to the testicles, resulting in isolated orchitis. Treatment should be based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests to determine the medication, with antimicrobial drugs as the foundation. Additionally, bed rest and scrotal support should be provided to alleviate symptoms, prevent sexual activity and physical exertion. Early cold compresses can be applied to prevent swelling, while late-stage cold compresses can accelerate inflammation resolution. Wishing you good health.
