Patient's question:
I have been experiencing testicular pain and itching recently. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. How can orchitis be treated to see results as soon as possible?Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed to be orchitis, it is first recommended that antibiotics must be used for treatment. The antibiotics generally recommended include fluoroquinolones or cephalosporins (specific treatment usually suggests conducting a drug sensitivity test first). At the same time, it is important to note that sexual intercourse should be avoided and heavy physical labor should be managed during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid alcohol and spicy, irritating foods in terms of diet, and to maintain sufficient deep sleep and rest. Orchitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, not smoke or drink beer, and we hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
