Patient's question:
I have had orchitis for a year, specifically, the right testicle is swollen and has a bending phenomenon after inflammation, still slightly larger than the left testicle, and there is a hidden discomfort that reflects to the groin and right lower abdomen, feeling that the vas deferens is also uncomfortable. Is there a good treatment method? Thank you! How should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello; According to your symptoms, it may be related to orchitis, so it is recommended that you actively undergo further and thorough examinations to confirm your condition. Use an adequate amount of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses, and physiotherapy. 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain. If diagnosed with orchitis, as its general causes are often retrograde infections such as lower urinary tract infections, prostatitis, post-urethral surgery, long-term indwelling catheters, etc.; hematogenous spread to the testicles, etc. Moreover, the prerequisite for the disease to heal naturally is the premise of standardized and early treatment. It is also recommended that you actively go to the hospital for a testicular ultrasound and other related examinations, so that timely symptomatic treatment can be provided based on the examination results.
