Patient's question:
Testicular inflammation has been treated with medication for several days, but the effect is not obvious. The testicles are still swollen and painful, making it difficult to walk, and I can only lie down. How is it better to treat testicular inflammation?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 often associated with mumps. In adults, bacterial infections are more prevalent. Treatment can include antibiotics such as azithromycin and levofloxacin hydrochloride. 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 treatments such as clearing heat and eliminating dampness are adopted based on syndrome differentiation. Medications like Sanmiao Wan, Huangbai Capsules, and Longdan Xiaoyan Wan can be used according to syndrome differentiation for effective treatment.
