Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, and I feel very uncomfortable. I got checked and was diagnosed with orchitis. Could you please advise on how to prevent orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Men should not frequently wear jeans, especially in summer or during humid weather. Pay attention to hygiene of the genital area to prevent bacterial infections. Not only women need to maintain private hygiene, but men should also pay high attention to it, especially those with phimosis or paraphimosis. They should frequently clean and scrub the penis to thoroughly remove smegma. Smegma not only easily irritates the glans repeatedly, causing conditions like balanitis, balanoposthitis, and orchitis, but it also easily leads to cervical diseases in wives. Orchitis can be cured, 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, during the treatment period, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and proper diet. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
