Patient's question:
Where is the best treatment for orchitis? How is orchitis treated with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Medicinal Health Care.① Treatment for bacterial orchitis: Procaine penicillin is typically administered via intramuscular injection, or gentamicin is used alternately via intramuscular injection for 5-7 days. After the inflammation is somewhat suppressed, oral antibiotics such as cephalosporin, compound sulfamethoxazole, or ciprofloxacin are switched to.
② Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment: The principle of treatment is to clear heat, detoxify, and calm the liver and extinguish fire. Medications include gentiana scabra, bupleurum, phellodendron amurense, scutellaria baicalensis, plantago asiatica, and alisma orientale, etc. If the orchitis is viral, TCM herbs such as honeysuckle, Forsythia suspensa, isatis indigotica, scutellariae radix, dandelion, and indigo naturalis can be used. Alternatively, intramuscular injections of isatis indigotica preparation can be administered 1-2 times daily.
Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
