How to treat orchitis

Patient's question:

Testicles are particularly swollen and painful, accompanied by pain in the perineum and inner thighs. The quality of sexual life is also declining day by day. How should orchitis be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Treatment for Orchitis
1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered;
2. Rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses and physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia can reduce pain;
3. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed! Early use of sufficient, broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as azithromycin, is necessary. Orchitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
For male patients, it is essential to actively seek professional and reputable medical treatment, and treatment should be decided based on examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and a positive mood should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
