Patient's question:
I recently had pain in my testicles and they were itchy. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. How should chronic orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the disease of orchitis itself is very troublesome. Due to the nature of this condition, the treatment process is relatively complex. Moreover, your current condition has already developed into chronic orchitis, so the only option is to treat while carefully monitoring and conducting follow-up tests to see the extent to which your orchitis has fully recovered. Orchitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, as well as maintaining good personal hygiene. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
