Patient's question:
I recently have pain and itching in my testicles. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. How can orchitis be treated to see effects as soon as possible?Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed to be orchitis, it is first recommended to use antibiotics for treatment. The antibiotics generally recommended are fluoroquinolones or cephalosporins (specific treatment usually suggests performing a drug sensitivity test first). At the same time, it is important to note that sexual activity should be avoided and heavy physical labor should be managed during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid alcohol and spicy, irritating foods in terms of diet, and to maintain sufficient deep sleep and rest. Orchitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
