Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, I feel very uncomfortable. I went for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to ask, if I have orchitis, how should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is more common in middle-aged and young adults, often caused by urinary tract infections and the spread of prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. The infection typically spreads retrogradely through the vas deferens. Factors such as prolonged squatting, poor hygiene, and consuming spicy foods can all contribute to the onset of the disease. Any illness may result from multiple factors. Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical treatment, as treatment should be based on thorough examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are important. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
