Patient's question:
Recently, my scrotum has been a bit red and itchy, with some discharge. I feel like I need to urinate but I can't. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said I have scrotal inflammation and need timely treatment. I would like to consult about what male scrotal inflammation is.Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is caused by a low local resistance in the scrotum, leading to the transmission of many blood-borne pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, or it may be due to a lack of vitamin B. Orchitis may manifest as high white blood cell count with testicular pain radiating to the groin, accompanied by exudation, desquamation, or even the formation of blisters. Treatment generally involves broad-spectrum antibiotics such as azithromycin, bed rest, high local cold compresses, 1% lidocaine for spermatic cord isolation anesthesia to reduce pain.
