Patient's question:
I have had orchitis for a year. I always feel a bloated sensation and pain in the area below the testicles. I have taken many medications at the hospital, but they haven't fully cured it. Later, a friend explained the Chinese herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pills, and after taking it for less than two months, the symptoms have significantly subsided. I would like to ask how long I need to take it to recover on my own.Doctor's answer:
Orchitis and epididymitis may have a relatively long duration of illness. It is recommended to visit the hospital for irregular follow-up tests of scrotal ultrasound to determine the appropriate sensitive antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, and anti-infection treatment based on the results. During the recovery period, try to minimize the consumption of overly spicy and irritating foods. The condition of orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis from professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
