Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, I feel very uncomfortable. I went for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to ask, after suffering from orchitis, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Patients with orchitis must rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, and apply local heat. If the scrotal skin is swollen and protruding, heat can be applied to help reduce inflammation. For severe pain that does not respond well to pain medication, a nerve block on the affected side can be performed. For systemic medication, broad-spectrum or gram-negative bacteria-sensitive antibiotics should be chosen. Symptomatic treatment should be carried out based on the identification of the underlying cause. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
