Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent testicular pain and a heavy, painful sensation in both testicles recently. My urine has also been yellow. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed me with orchitis. He prescribed many anti-inflammatory medications and also gave me a lot of magnesium sulfate, instructing me to use it for sitz baths daily. After using it for a few days, the pain in my testicles subsided. What are the treatment methods for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic epididymitis may not yield ideal results with medication alone. In addition to using effective broad-spectrum antibiotics, local cold compresses and other physical therapies are also necessary. Local application of berberine or neomycin through iontophoresis can also be considered. If chronic prostatitis is present, it must be treated concurrently. Epididymitis that recurs repeatedly due to chronic prostatitis may be considered for vasectomy before further treatment. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health.
