Patient's question:
I recently have pain and itching in my testicles. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. How should I treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Early intravenous administration of large amounts of broad-spectrum effective antibiotics should be used to control inflammation to reduce the recurrence of purulent orchitis and testicular abscess. Special attention should be paid to orchitis associated with acute mumps, as bilateral inflammation can lead to irreversible damage to spermatogenesis or even testicular atrophy, resulting in male infertility. The primary treatment should involve anti-infective medications, followed by the use of blood-activating and stasis-resolving therapies. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery.
