Patient's question:
Around two weeks, I suddenly felt a swelling and pain in my testicles. Four days later, the testicles swelled. After taking Cephalosporin and other medications, the testicles reduced in size a bit, but there were still hard lumps on them. When the medication was stopped, they remained swollen, accompanied by lower back pain and lower abdominal pain.Doctor's answer:
Acute orchitis is primarily characterized by a rapid onset, fever, chills, and swelling and pain in one or both testicles. Mumps orchitis is primarily characterized by swelling and pain in the testicles, redness, swelling, and fever, occurring after mumps. Generally, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory treatment is required, and gatifloxacin can be selected. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition, while delayed treatment can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should promptly receive symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
