What should I do if the testicles become soft and painful after taking medication for orchitis?

Patient's question:

A week ago, I developed left testicular inflammation and received injections for about five or six days. Feeling better, I stopped taking medication for three days. The day before yesterday, I felt a slight pain when pressing down on my left testicle, so I focused on going to the hospital and taking medication. Yesterday, I noticed my testicle felt a bit softer and there was some pain when pressing down.

Doctor's answer:

You are undergoing treatment with intramuscular injections for left testicular inflammation, and you currently feel some improvement. The course of testicular inflammation is relatively long, so it is recommended that you extend the duration of the intramuscular treatment. At least a continuous intramuscular injection for 7 days is required. For patients with testicular inflammation, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If treatment is not administered promptly, it may affect your physical condition. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
