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 is orchitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, it is speculated. During acute recurrence of orchitis, it is best to rest in bed. The legs should be kept separate as much as possible, and walking should be minimized. This can increase the impact and friction between the thighs and the testicles, further exacerbating the inflammation.Patients should pay attention to appropriate activity to enhance their immunity. It is also important to maintain a cheerful and optimistic mindset, as this can help alleviate the worsening of the condition. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may 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.
