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 is orchitis usually caused?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is often caused by bacterial or viral infections. The common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc. The most common virus is the mumps virus, which is often associated with mumps. In adults, bacterial infections are more prevalent. Treatment can include antibiotics such as azithromycin and levofloxacin hydrochloride. If necessary, bacterial culture can be performed, and sensitive medications can be used based on the results. Traditional Chinese medicine can also be sought, where treatments such as clearing heat and eliminating dampness are adopted based on syndrome differentiation and treatment, which can also be very effective.
