Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently told that I have orchitis. Now, I am in constant pain every day and don't know what to do. Please ask: How should orchitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hospitals for treating orchitis, for parotid orchitis, antibiotics are ineffective. Chinese herbal medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying can be used to treat orchitis. Blood gamma globulin and convalescent serum from mumps patients, diethylstilbestrol, and prednisone can reduce symptoms of orchitis. Antibiotics and other medications are used to treat orchitis. In severe cases of orchitis, surgery may be necessary, including incision and drainage or orchiectomy. For syphilitic orchitis caused by syphilis, the testicles should be removed first, and further treatment can be decided after pathological examination. Local early cold compresses, and cold compresses in the middle and later stages can reduce symptoms of orchitis and alleviate pain. Orchitis can be cured as long as timely, systematic, and effective treatment is implemented after the disease is detected to prevent testicular damage.
