Patient's question:
Left testicular pain is unbearable, already swollen, walking hurts so much that I can't straighten my back. I've been receiving intravenous fluids (cephalosporin-based anti-inflammatory medication) for almost a month, but there's no significant improvement.Doctor's answer:
The possibility of orchitis. It is usually caused by a bacterial infection. Follow-up in urological and perinatal surgery for a definitive diagnosis, and timely use of antibiotics for treatment. Rest in bed. Elevate the scrotum, keeping the testicles in a higher position, which facilitates venous return, reduces swelling and pain, and allows the testicles to recover. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period. We hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
