Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing testicular swelling and pain, with some redness and swelling on the scrotal skin. After examination, it was diagnosed as orchitis. How is orchitis treated? What medication is used for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is often caused by bacterial or viral infections. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, E. coli, and others. Treatment options include antibiotics such as azithromycin and levofloxacin mesylate. If necessary, bacterial culture can be performed, and sensitive medications can be used based on the results. The condition of testicular inflammation tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
