Patient's question:
I recently have testicular pain and itching. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. How can orchitis be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis can be divided into acute orchitis and chronic orchitis. Acute orchitis is primarily characterized by sudden onset, high fever, chills, pain in the affected scrotum, tightness and redness of the skin, swelling, urgency and frequency of urination, and significant tenderness. It may also lead to (second-order neuron sheath effusion). Chronic orchitis generally does not cause systemic symptoms, but the testicles gradually swell and form a mass.Orchitis should be treated early with intravenous administration of large doses of broad-spectrum, effective antibiotics to control inflammation and reduce the recurrence of purulent orchitis and testicular abscesses. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
