Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, I feel very uncomfortable. I got tested and was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to ask, what are the common treatments for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of orchitis adopts the approach of "distinguishing between severity and combining Chinese and Western medicine," which has yielded good results. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment primarily targets the following three types, with syndrome differentiation and treatment applied accordingly:(1) Damp-Heat Lowering Type: The treatment focuses on clearing damp-heat and expelling toxins to resolve abscesses.
(2) Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis Type Acute Orchitis: The treatment aims to regulate qi, promote blood circulation, and disperse stagnation.
(3) Blood Clot Delay Type Acute Orchitis: The treatment focuses on activating blood circulation to resolve stasis and promote blood flow.
Orchitis is treatable, but the recovery process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
