Patient's question:
I have had orchitis a year ago and it has persisted. Specifically, my right testicle is swollen, and after inflammation, it has a bending phenomenon and is still slightly larger than the left testicle. There is also a subtle sensation that the disease reflexes to the inguinal region and the right lower abdomen. I feel that the vas deferens also has a subtle sensation. Is there a good treatment method? Thank you! How is orchitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello; According to your symptoms, it may be related to orchitis, so it is recommended that you actively undergo further and thorough examination to confirm your condition. Use an adequate amount of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses, and physiotherapy. 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain. If diagnosed with orchitis, as its general causes are often retrograde infections such as lower urinary tract infections, prostatitis, post-urethral surgery, long-term indwelling catheters, etc.; hematogenous spread to the testicles, etc. Moreover, the prerequisite for the disease to heal naturally is the premise of standardized and early treatment. It is also recommended that you actively go to the hospital for a scrotal ultrasound and other related examinations, so that timely and symptomatic treatment can be provided based on the examination results.
