Patient's question:
I have had chronic orchitis for over a year. I always feel a bloated sensation in the area below the testicles and in the lower abdomen. I have been to the hospital for detailed examinations and treatments many times. The doctors prescribed me a lot of medicine, but it didn't completely cure it. Later, a friend introduced me to the Chinese herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pills. After taking it for a month, my condition improved significantly. I would like to ask how long one should take this medicine to recover on their own.Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon you are currently experiencing is mostly considered to be a chronic inflammatory response that leads to this manifestation. Given your current condition, it is necessary to undergo a thorough examination with a color Doppler ultrasound in a professional urology department to make a clear diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment method. If herbal medicine is chosen, you will need to go to a specialized traditional Chinese medicine hospital to receive treatment. Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding stimulating foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
