How to treat orchitis

Patient's question:

Left testicular swelling, examination said there is inflammation, currently there is aching pain near the genital area, unable to do anything, how to treat orchitis if diagnosed

Doctor's answer:

The main symptoms of orchitis are pain and swelling in one testicle, and some may experience a recurrence of fever. After the symptoms of orchitis reappear, there will be a reduction in the size of the testicle and pain. In severe cases, systemic symptoms such as fever and elevated white blood cell count may also occur.
After being diagnosed with orchitis, the first step is to administer anti-inflammatory treatment, followed by intravenous fluid therapy, which is faster. Then, wear tight underwear and lower the scrotum to reduce pain. Apply a warm towel to the scrotum daily for cold compresses, preferably with a bit of magnesium sulfate, which can slow down the subsidence and absorption of inflammation.
