Patient's question:
Accidental infection led to hydrocele, and after surgery and treatment, the testicles still feel swollen and painful! From the onset of symptoms to half a month later, I have had mild cold-like and feverish symptoms that come and go. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
You have been receiving intravenous fluids for orchitis for a week now, and it is important to follow up promptly. Generally, the treatment for acute orchitis with anesthesia and antibiotics requires about two weeks, followed by taking anti-inflammatory medication for 2 to 3 weeks. It is recommended that you abstain from sexual activity during this time, as sexual intercourse can easily lead to impotence, premature ejaculation, and orchitis. Avoid engaging in unprotected sexual activity in daily life. During this period, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, do not overexert yourself, and pay attention to rest. Orchitis tends to recur, so long-term medication is necessary. Additionally, it is important to restrain sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
