Patient's question:
5 days ago I had a circumcision surgery, received two days of intravenous fluids, and had infrared treatment twice. But I feel a bit itchy on the surface of my testicles. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis and epididymitis, in traditional Chinese medicine, fall under the category of scrotal abscess. The onset is sudden, which can cause pain, swelling, and distension in the scrotum. The pain may also radiate to other areas, such as the groin, lower abdomen, and perineum. Patients may experience fever. Oral Chinese medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills should be taken in conjunction with adequate rest and maintaining good lifestyle habits. Epididymitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications must be used according to the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period.
