Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My orchitis has been cured for a year, and I haven't had a follow-up examination. Do I need a follow-up examination? Can a follow-up color Doppler ultrasound be done? Besides my sperm, do I need a careful examination? When the careful examination revealed orchitis, the pain stopped on the third day, and I took medication for a week.Doctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is usually completely self-healing. Generally, it can be treated with appropriate antibiotics taken orally for a week or through intravenous infusion for a week. For follow-up tests, a ultrasound is usually sufficient. To check sperm, a semen analysis can be performed. Testicular inflammation can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and patients should also maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
