Often, it starts with mumps and then progresses to orchitis. Here is a reference for a Chinese herbal prescription:Huangqin, Huanglian, Niubangzi, Xuanshen, Banlangen, Shengma, Mabu, Lianqiao, Chenpi, Jiangcan, Bohe, Shijia, Shiwai.
Boil the herbs in water and drink the decoction. Orchitis can be alleviated with this treatment, but the healing process is usually long, and the condition tends to recur after treatment.
