Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask about how to treat acute orchitis. I don't know what happened. I am 39 years old, and I was recently diagnosed with acute orchitis after a thorough examination at the hospital. How is this condition caused, and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Orchitis is mainly caused by bacterial infections. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene or come into contact with unclean environments, especially through unsafe sexual practices, it is relatively easy for bacteria to infect the urinary tract and then reverse into the reproductive tract, leading to orchitis. Currently, if it has been diagnosed, it is recommended to treat it with intravenous antibiotics such as cephalosporins and azithromycin. After the symptoms stabilize and improve, oral antibiotics can be used for continuous treatment. The total treatment duration is approximately two weeks.
