Patient's question:
Testicles are particularly swollen and painful, accompanied by pain in the perineum and inner thighs. The quality of sexual life is also getting worse day by day. How should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
1) Early bed rest with elevation of the affected side and local cold application or cold compress. For patients with swollen and red scrotal skin, use a 50% magnesium sulfate solution for wet compress. For children vaccinated with mumps attenuated live vaccine, estrogen, corticosteroids, or gamma globulin may also be helpful for orchitis.2) Antibacterial treatment for orchitis, with systemic use of antibiotics being particularly important for bacterial orchitis. Orchitis is curable, but the treatment process is generally slow and prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period, hoping that male patients can recover quickly!
