Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent testicular pain and a heavy, swollen 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:
The treatment of testicular pain should be implemented based on identifying its cause, with symptomatic treatment administered accordingly. If the cause cannot be determined immediately, symptomatic treatment such as sedation and blood-activating therapies can be used. When necessary, Prilocaine isolation treatment of the spermatic cord can be employed, which can interrupt the vicious cycle between the pain source of neuralgia and the central pain perception in the brain. In some cases, slight discomfort or even no discomfort at all can lead to testicular pain, which is entirely due to psychological factors. Others may associate the pain with sexual activity, carrying a heavy burden of guilt all day long.
