Patient's question:
Male, the left testicle is much larger than the right one, with obvious pain, making the groin uncomfortable, and lower back pain. How should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults. Whenever the body's resistance weakens, pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus take the opportunity to enter the vas deferens and reverse flow into the epididymis, causing inflammation, which can be classified as acute or chronic. This condition requires the administration of anti-inflammatory medications. Rest in bed is recommended, and if necessary, a color Doppler ultrasound examination may be needed to carefully assess the condition of orchitis, as it tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
