Patient's question:
I have orchitis and epididymitis. Currently, I am taking general anti-inflammatory drugs such as penicillin V potassium and ciprofloxacin. However, this time the illness lasted for 5 days, and I want to get better quickly. What medication is most effective for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Your orchitis is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. Orchitis rarely occurs again due to bacterial infection because the testicles have a rich blood and lymphatic supply, making them highly resistant to bacterial infections. Viral orchitis often appears shortly after mumps. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting in daily life.
