Patient's question:
I am a patient with chronic purulent orchitis. It has been several months now, and my testicles are becoming increasingly heavy and swollen, which keeps me from sleeping. Hello, what kind of medicine should be taken for chronic purulent orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic suppurative orchitis is a purulent inflammation caused by sensitive bacteria, commonly including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, etc. Most patients are infected through retrograde urinary tract infection. Treatment primarily involves early, adequate, and prolonged antibiotic use, commonly using cephalosporin drugs. A skin test should be conducted before taking the medication to rule out allergies. Alcohol and alcoholic beverages must be strictly prohibited during medication to avoid recurrence of disulfiram-like reactions.
