Patient's question:
Go ice skating at the beach, and after coming back, I noticed that my testicles were swollen and a bit painful when touched. There was only a little inflammation around the testicles, so I went to the urology department for a thorough examination and found that I actually had orchitis. What are the correct treatments for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The testicles rarely suffer from bacterial infections due to their rich blood and lymphatic supply, which provides strong resistance to bacterial infections. Most bacterial testicular inflammation is caused by inflammation of the adjacent epididymis, so it is also known as epididymo-orchitis. Treatment methods: 1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment; 2. Rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, apply local cold compresses and physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord block anesthesia to reduce pain.
