Patient's question:
Doctor, I have had orchitis for over ten years. Semen tests show white blood cells, pus cells, and Staphylococcus aureus. I have a burning and heavy sensation in my left testicle. The sperm vitality and motility are both low. How should I be treated? What should I do with orchitis for over ten years?Doctor's answer:
Rest in bed. Support the scrotum. Apply local cold compresses. The scrotal skin is significantly swollen. Use a 50% magnesium sulfate solution for warm compresses. Systemic medication should include broad-spectrum or Gram-negative bacteria-sensitive antibiotics, such as penicillin, gentamicin, and various cephalosporins. Traditional Chinese medicine primarily uses herbs to drain toxins, clear heat, and promote diuresis. Medicinal decoctions or prepared drugs based on the basic formula of Longdan Xiegan Tang can be used. Consider draining the pus or performing incision and drainage. Orchitis tends to recur. Also, avoid sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
