Patient's question:
I have recently often felt something in my scrotum, and when touched, it often causes pain. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it was diagnosed as orchitis. My sexual life is still quite harmonious, but I don't know if it will recur. How can orchitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
You should seek early treatment and use sufficient, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as azithromycin early on. However, don't be upset—orchitis can be cured. As long as timely, systematic, and effective treatment is implemented after the condition is detected, it is entirely possible to prevent testicular damage. During treatment, adequate rest is necessary. If chronic epididymitis recurs acutely, antibiotics should be used promptly. If it recurs repeatedly, the epididymis may need to be removed. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after recovery. Proper medication is essential.
