Patient's question:
My testicles have grown a bit larger, and there is pain during ejaculation after intercourse. The next day, I experience lower back and leg pain. The hospital said it's orchitis. Please ask how to treat the early stage of orchitis.Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is often caused by bacterial or viral infections. 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 common. Treatment can include antibiotics such as azithromycin and levofloxacin. If necessary, bacterial culture can be performed, and sensitive medications can be used based on the results. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can also be used, with methods such as clearing heat and eliminating dampness tailored to the individual's condition. Medications like San Miao Wan, Huang Bai capsules, and Long Dan Xie Gan Wan can be used according to the specific diagnosis.
