Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, and I feel very uncomfortable. I got tested and was diagnosed with orchitis. Could you please advise on how to prevent orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Men should not frequently wear jeans, especially during the summer and in humid weather. Pay attention to genital hygiene to prevent bacterial infections. Not only women need to maintain private hygiene, but men should also pay close attention to it, especially those with phimosis and paraphimosis. They should frequently clean and scrub the penis to thoroughly remove smegma, as smegma not only easily irritates the glans repeatedly, causing conditions like balanitis, balanoposthitis, and orchitis, but also increases the risk of cervical diseases in their wives. Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during treatment. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
