Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, I feel very uncomfortable. I got tested and found testicular inflammation. I would like to ask, how should testicular inflammation be treated?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is primarily considered to be testitis or epididymitis. This situation requires immediate medical attention at a hospital's surgical department for a thorough examination, with the need for an ultrasound if necessary to determine the severity. Generally, it is necessary to use anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medications to completely eliminate swelling and pain. In severe cases, intravenous treatment may be required, as oral medication may be less effective. However, if repeated antibiotic treatments do not show improvement, it is recommended to consider traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for regulation. A commonly used formula is Xiao Chai Hu Jia Gao Tang, which is quite effective for testitis patients. Timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence, but if left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should adhere to timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
