Patient's question:
Testicular inflammation has been treated with medication for several days, but the effect is not obvious. The testicles still feel swollen and painful, making it difficult to walk, and I can only lie down. What are the professional methods for treating testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
There are several causes of orchitis, such as viral, fungal, and traumatic. The main symptoms include redness and swelling of the scrotal skin, as well as testicular enlargement, often accompanied by hydrocele. It is recommended to rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses, and undergo physical therapy. Then, intravenous treatment is necessary. It is best to have a color Doppler ultrasound first to check for the formation of an abscess. If an abscess forms, surgical drainage of the testicle is required, as orchitis tends to recur and may require long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and a positive mood should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
