Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my condition is orchitis caused by mumps. After discharge, the orchitis hasn't fully healed, with slight swelling but no pain. The doctor said it's okay to discharge me but I need to rest for a few days. I'm worried that if it doesn't heal completely, it might flare up again. Please help me clarify this.Doctor's answer:
Oral medication treatment, such as cephalosporin antibiotics combined with Xiaojinwan, except for Qianmao Shutong treatment. Because this condition requires a thorough recovery, it may not be necessary to stay in the hospital all the time and can be managed at home. Currently, it is still necessary to abstain from alcohol, strictly prohibit sexual activity, maintain a light diet, and avoid overwork. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If treatment is not timely, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
