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, how should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Principles of Testicular Inflammation Treatment:1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment;
2. Bed rest, elevating the scrotum, local cold compresses, and physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain;
3. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed.
Principles of Medication Use:
Use sufficient and broad-spectrum antibiotics in the early stage, such as azithromycin.
Medical costs generally depend on local conditions, the local economy, and the hospital's level, as each hospital has different charging standards and cannot be generalized.
Testicular inflammation tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek immediate treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. It is also important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain personal hygiene. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
