How long does it take to treat acute orchitis?

Patient's question:

Left testicular swelling, medication and injections for 5 days, what kind of medicine should be taken later? How long will the swelling completely recover?

Doctor's answer:

Acute orchitis is generally caused by retrograde bacterial transmission. The clinical diagnosis and treatment primarily involve administering sensitive and effective antibiotics for treatment. The principle of treatment is to use an adequate dose and follow a standardized course. In most cases, antibiotics are used for about 7 days, and no further medication is needed later. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If treatment is delayed, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
