Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, I feel very uncomfortable. I got tested and was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to ask, what are the common treatments for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of orchitis adopts the approach of "distinguishing between severity and integrating Chinese and Western medicine," which has yielded good results. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment primarily targets the following three types, with syndrome differentiation and treatment applied accordingly:(1) Damp-heat lower-jiao type: The treatment focuses on clearing damp-heat and dispelling toxicity to resolve abscesses.
(2) Qi stagnation and blood stasis type acute orchitis: The treatment aims to regulate qi, activate blood circulation, and disperse stagnation.
(3) Blood clump stagnation type acute orchitis: The treatment focuses on promoting blood circulation to resolve stasis and activate blood.
Orchitis is treatable, but the recovery process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
