What tests are needed to diagnose orchitis

Patient's question:

Hello Orchitis, what tests to do

Doctor's answer:

Do you know what symptoms you have? How long have you had them? Orchitis is usually caused by retrograde infection of bacteria through the urethra, which can lead to symptoms such as swelling and pain in the testicles and epididymis, as well as fever. The treatment primarily involves anti-inflammatory therapy. However, this condition can be a bit challenging to treat, with a prolonged medication duration of about one month. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine methods can be effective.
For examination, blood tests and a color Doppler ultrasound of the testicles can be performed. Orchitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that target the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
