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, how is the best way to treat orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is often caused by bacterial or viral infections. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc. Treatment can involve antibiotics such as azithromycin or levofloxacin hydrochloride. If necessary, bacterial culture can be performed, and sensitive medications can be used based on the results. Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is advisable to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
