Patient's question:
What's wrong with me these past few days? I feel uncomfortable all over my body, a bit of low-grade fever, pain in the scrotum, heaviness and discomfort, swollen epididymis, with lumps, especially painful when touched. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it's acute epididymitis. What medication is used for acute epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Acute orchitis is mostly caused by infections, and the main treatment methods are antibiotics and pain relievers. If an abscess forms, surgical drainage may be necessary. Patients with acute orchitis caused by sexually transmitted diseases should ensure sufficient medication dosage and adequate treatment duration to achieve complete cure, preventing recurrence and infection. The key to daily prevention of acute orchitis lies in taking protective measures to prevent contact with pathogens. Antibiotics are commonly used medications.
