Patient's question:
Testicular inflammation has been treated with medication for several days, but the effect is not obvious. The testicles are still swollen and painful, making it difficult to walk, and I can only lie down. Could you please tell me the specific cause of testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is associated with many causes, including trauma, viral infections, and bacterial infections. Symptoms must be treated with as much bed rest as possible and intravenous antibiotics. If you are not allergic to cephalosporin antibiotics, intravenous administration of cephalosporin antibiotics is necessary. It is essential to completely cure it to avoid the risk of leaving behind an epididymal cyst, which is a complication. If it is not cured once, it may lead to complications. This cyst can easily cause recurrence of orchitis and can only be surgically removed. Medication treatment is recommended.
