Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have pain in my testicles and feel very uncomfortable. After a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to consult about the best treatment methods for testicular swelling.Doctor's answer:
Common orchitis includes non-specific and mumps orchitis. Any purulent sepsis can lead to acute purulent orchitis of the second neuron, and even result in testicular abscess. The causative pathogens are mainly Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In fact, the most common cause of purulent orchitis is actually an infection that spreads from epididymitis, so it should be referred to as epididymo-orchitis. It is recommended to apply local cold compresses first, and then seek medical attention to check a urine routine and scrotal ultrasound. For patients with testicular swelling, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
