Patient's question:
Because the testicles always feel sore and unbearable, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that it was orchitis. I know nothing about this disease. Is it serious? What should I do about orchitis?Doctor's answer:
You have symptoms of orchitis, which generally causes pain and swelling in the scrotum. It can affect fertility and requires timely treatment. In your case, I recommend starting with rest. It's very important to follow a light, warm, and easily digestible diet. Pay attention to hygiene of the external genitalia. It's best to have an ultrasound examination for a thorough check-up. After confirming the diagnosis, you can then receive intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment at the hospital, which is highly effective. Generally, orchitis tends to recur, so long-term medication is often necessary.
