Patient's question:
Hello, I have pain in my testicles and feel very uncomfortable. I went for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to ask, how should this condition, orchitis, be treated?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is one of the common and frequently occurring diseases in men, and it is related to bacterial or viral infections. After confirmation and diagnosis, intravenous antibiotics should be administered to control the inflammation. During treatment, rest in bed and avoid excessive exercise. Wash the external genitalia regularly, elevate the scrotum with cold compresses to promote the resolution of inflammation, and refrain from sexual activity or alcohol consumption during this period. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain a regular sexual life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
