Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, I feel very uncomfortable. I got tested and was diagnosed with orchitis. I'd like to ask, what are the methods of treating orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis and orchitis require a prolonged treatment duration, approximately around two weeks. Antibiotics are administered intravenously. In fact, cephalexin and penicillin have the same antibacterial spectrum, and oral azithromycin can be used. Early cold compresses and supporting the testicles can prevent movement. However, after two weeks, ciprofloxacin can be used. Orchitis can be relieved, but the treatment duration is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
