Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, and I feel very uncomfortable. I got tested and was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to ask, what are the methods of treating orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis and orchitis have a prolonged treatment duration, approximately lasting for about half a month. Antibiotics are administered intravenously. In fact, cephalexin and penicillin have the same antibacterial spectrum, and oral azithromycin can also be used. Early on, cold compresses should be applied, and the testicles should be supported to prevent movement. However, after half a month, ciprofloxacin can be used. Orchitis can be relieved, but the treatment duration is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during treatment. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
