Patient's question:
I am a 26-year-old male. Last week, I noticed that my testicles were a bit red, but since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. Last night while taking a shower, I accidentally touched my testicles and felt some pain. When I touched them myself, it seemed like there was a lot of liquid inside. I am very scared. Please ask: Do I need to go to the hospital for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
In this case, orchitis can lead to testicular swelling and pain. It is recommended to undergo a urological examination and use anti-inflammatory and anti-nodular medications. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light diet, and get adequate rest. Refrain from frequent sexual activity to prevent further irritation. Medications such as levofloxacin and Shubitong can be used. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
