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 getting worse day by day. How should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
1) Early bed rest with elevation of the affected side and local cold application or cold therapy. For patients with swollen and red scrotal skin, apply a 50% magnesium sulfate solution as a wet compress. For children vaccinated with mumps attenuated live vaccine, estrogen, corticosteroids, or gamma globulin may also be helpful for orchitis.2) Antibacterial treatment for orchitis involves systemic use of antibiotics, which is particularly important for bacterial orchitis. Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and proper diet is recommended during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
