What should I do if jock itch seems to have spread to the testicles?

Patient's question:

I recently have testicular pain and itching. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. It seems like tinea cruris has spread to my testicles. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

The term "tinea" usually refers to a fungal infection, which can spread to other parts if not properly controlled in a timely manner. The treatment is primarily based on the use of topical antifungal medications, such as miconazole cream, Lamisil, Miracle, Huato ointment, and various others. As long as the medication is used consistently, symptoms should disappear, and maintaining the treatment for an additional week after symptoms subside can usually lead to a cure. Male sexual diseases can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that are appropriate for the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
