Patient's question:
Mumps splitting orchitis and epididymitis, intravenous infusion for a week, the testicles still have tenderness, can I focus on intravenous treatment for half a month later? We are using intravenous irinotecan and cefotetan for treatment. What should I do with the ultrasound after half a month?Doctor's answer:
The virus can directly affect the testicles, with the most common being the mumps virus, which primarily targets children's parotid glands. It is recommended that antibiotics are ineffective for mumps orchitis, and treatment should focus on symptomatic relief. Additionally, regular follow-up ultrasound examinations should be conducted. Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical care promptly, with treatment decisions based on examination results.
