Patient's question:
For the past few months, I've been experiencing pain in my testicles, accompanied by pain in the inner thigh. Sometimes my legs also feel weak. Could this be testicular inflammation? I'd like to ask what are the symptoms of testicular inflammation? What should I do if the symptoms of testicular inflammation reappear? How should testicular inflammation be treated?Doctor's answer:
Rest in bed, support the scrotum, and apply local cold compresses. If the scrotal skin is significantly swollen, use a 50% magnesium sulfate solution for warm compresses to reduce inflammation. For severe pain that does not respond well to analgesics, perform an isolated cord block with 10 mL of 1% procaine on the affected side. Systemic medication should include broad-spectrum or Gram-negative-sensitive antibiotics, such as penicillin, gentamicin, and various cephalosporins. Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
