Patient's question:
The testicles are slightly swollen and painful, especially when touched, it feels very painful. Later, the doctor said my condition is orchitis. This is the first time this symptom has recurred again. Can I apply ice?Doctor's answer:
Diagnosed with orchitis, cold compresses are not recommended. Treatment should be adjusted based on the condition with systematic medication. You can consult and seek treatment at the physical therapy department. Avoid wearing leather pants as underwear to prevent pressure and friction. Avoid the spread of genital infections, as orchitis tends to recur. Long-term medication intake is necessary. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, refrain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
