Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently told that I have orchitis. Now, I am in constant pain every day and don't know what to do. Please ask: How should orchitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hospitals for treating orchitis, for parotid gland orchitis, antibiotics are ineffective. Traditional Chinese medicine heat-clearing and detoxifying agents can be used to treat orchitis. Blood plasma and convalescent serum from mumps patients, diethylstilbestrol, and cortisone can reduce symptoms of orchitis. Antibiotics and other medications are used to treat orchitis. In severe cases of orchitis, surgery may be necessary, including incision and drainage or orchiectomy. For syphilitic orchitis caused by syphilis, the testicles should be removed first, and further treatment can be decided after the pathology report. Early local cold compresses can be applied, and cold compresses can be used in the middle and later stages to reduce symptoms of orchitis and relieve pain. Orchitis can be cured as long as timely, systematic, and effective treatment is implemented after the disease is detected to prevent testicular damage.
