Patient's question:
Testicular inflammation has been going on for 7 days, and it started with a fever. At the hospital outpatient clinic, I was given clindamycin phosphate solution, twice a day, for two days. The fever didn't go down, the testicles didn't look as swollen, and the pain hadn't started yet. What should be done in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Symptomatic treatment should be implemented based on the confirmation of its cause. If the cause cannot be identified at once, symptomatic treatment such as sedation and blood-activating measures can be administered. When necessary, scrotal procaine isolation treatment may be used. If this condition is not treated actively, it can lead to an increase in male sexual function, even resulting in azoospermia or aspermia, ultimately causing infertility. It is best to seek treatment at a regular hospital to avoid further adverse complications due to delayed treatment. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If treatment is not administered promptly, it can affect overall health.
