Patient's question:
Testicular inflammation has been treated with medication for several days, but the effect is not obvious. The testicles still feel swollen and painful, making it difficult to walk and forcing me to lie down. What are the professional methods for treating testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
There are several causes of orchitis, such as viral, fungal, and traumatic. The main symptoms include redness and swelling of the scrotal skin, as well as testicular enlargement, often accompanied by hydrocele. It is recommended to rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses, and undergo physical therapy. Then, intravenous treatment should be administered. It is best to have a color Doppler ultrasound first to check for the formation of an abscess. If an abscess forms, surgical drainage of the testicle is necessary. Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, it is important to abstain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
