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 is orchitis usually caused?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is often caused by bacterial or viral infections. The common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc. The most common virus is the mumps virus, which is usually associated with mumps. In adults, bacterial orchitis is more common. Treatment can include antibiotics such as azithromycin and levofloxacin. If necessary, bacterial culture can be performed, and sensitive medications can be used based on the results. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can also be sought, where treatment is based on syndrome differentiation and treatment methods such as clearing heat and removing dampness, which can also be very effective.
