Patient's question:
I started experiencing frequent lower body pain before the New Year and initially thought it might be a scrape. However, the pain has recently become significantly worse, especially when touched. I searched online and found that many people suggest it could be testicular inflammation. How should testicular inflammation be treated?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis, early intravenous administration of large doses of broad-spectrum effective antibiotics should be used to control inflammation in order to reduce the recurrence of purulent orchitis and testicular abscesses. Particular attention should be paid to orchitis associated with acute mumps, as bilateral inflammation can lead to irreversible damage to spermatogenesis or even testicular atrophy, resulting in male infertility. Therefore, the key to preventing this disease is vaccination for susceptible children under one year old. The use of live attenuated mumps virus vaccine can prevent mumps and secondary neuron orchitis.
