Patient's question:
Male, the left testicle is much larger than the right one, with obvious pain, making the groin uncomfortable, and lower back pain. How should orchitis be treated better?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is a common cause of testicular pain. There are many reasons that can lead to orchitis, such as patients with mumps, which can cause secondary orchitis, resulting in testicular pain and swelling; gonorrhea is currently the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease, and in severe cases, it can lead to orchitis, causing testicular pain. Treatment for orchitis: 1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment; 2. Rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses and physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block to reduce pain; 3. If an abscess forms, incision and drainage should be performed! Early use of sufficient, broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as azithromycin.
