Patient's question:
The patient recently feels generally unwell, and has testicular pain for two days. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Testicular pain should first be considered as a possible case of orchitis. It is recommended to promptly visit the urology department of a Class III-A hospital for a physical examination and a detailed ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. Once orchitis is diagnosed, it is advised to start treatment immediately. Initially, intravenous administration of anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment. After the symptoms improve, the treatment can be switched to oral anti-inflammatory drugs. The entire treatment process typically takes about two weeks. The commonly used anti-inflammatory drugs are third-generation cephalosporins.
