Is left testicular swelling a symptom of orchitis?

Patient's question:

Testicular inflammation, had a color Doppler ultrasound, and some fluid was drawn. The left testicle is swollen. It's said that it might be due to poor hygiene, prolonged sitting, and repeated poor circulation, as well as a weakened immune system. Left levofloxacin tablets were prescribed, and cold compresses with a towel at night are recommended. Can it be cured? How long will it take?

Doctor's answer:

To consider the causes of orchitis, it is necessary to have a thorough ultrasound examination of the testicles. Do not take it lightly. Early use of sufficient, broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as azithromycin, is recommended. In daily diet, avoid spicy foods and eat more green vegetables, such as carrots and green leafy vegetables, which is better. Orchitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medication appropriately. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
