How to treat scrotal inflammation well and how to care for it?

Patient's question:

My scrotum has been red, swollen, and intensely itchy for the past few days. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as orchitis. I'd like to understand how to treat orchitis effectively.

Doctor's answer:

Treatment Methods for Scrotal Inflammation
1. Medicinal Treatment
2. Surgical Treatment
3. During treatment, avoid hot water baths and the use of scented soaps or cleaning agents to prevent recurrent allergic contact dermatitis.
4. Do not apply irritating medications externally.
5. In terms of diet, reduce the intake of spicy foods and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits.
6. Frequent cold wet compresses can help reduce swelling, alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and increase exudation.
Scrotal inflammation can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after recovery. During treatment, medications should be used appropriately based on symptoms. It is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and adopt a balanced diet during the treatment period.
