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, how should I treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Friends generally can take procaine penicillin for orchitis treatment by following medical advice and administering it via intramuscular injection. Those allergic to penicillin can use ciprofloxacin lactate for intravenous drip or gentamicin for intramuscular injection. After the inflammation is somewhat controlled, switch to oral antibiotics, such as cephalosporin, cotrimoxazole, or ciprofloxacin. Orchitis is prone to recurring, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, maintain a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
