Patient's question:
Testicles are particularly swollen and painful, accompanied by pain in the perineum and inner thighs. The quality of sexual life is also declining day by day. What are the systemic symptoms of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of orchitis are pain and swelling in one testicle, and some may experience a recurrence of fever. After the symptoms of orchitis reappear, there will be a reduction in the size of the testicle and pain. In severe cases, systemic symptoms such as fever and elevated white blood cell count may also occur.After being diagnosed with orchitis, the first step is to administer anti-inflammatory treatment, followed by intravenous fluid therapy, which can speed up recovery. Additionally, underwear should be worn tighter to support the scrotum, which can help reduce pain. A warm towel should be applied to the scrotum daily for cold compress treatment. It is best to add a little magnesium sulfate to the towel, as this can slow down the resolution and absorption of inflammation.
Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
