Patient's question:
I have been experiencing discomfort in my lower abdomen recently, with recurring pain and swelling in the testicles, as they have been reinfected. The doctor said this is a common disease of the male reproductive system. What are the good treatment methods for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
During treatment, it is recommended that the patient rest in bed. Support the scrotum. Apply local cold compresses. If a abscess has already formed in the testicle, consider draining the pus or performing incision and drainage. If the testicle is completely destroyed due to inflammation, the affected testicle can be removed. Testicular inflammation tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
