Patient's question:
Recently, I have been experiencing lower back pain, frequent urination, urinary urgency, weakness in all four limbs, decreased libido, swelling and pain in the testicles, redness on the surface, and sometimes painful urination. There is white discharge from the urethral opening. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was orchitis. How should orchitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The testicles themselves are rarely infected by bacteria. The testicles have a rich blood and lymph supply, so they have strong resistance to bacterial infections. Bacterial orchitis is mainly caused by inflammation of the adjacent epididymis, and is therefore also known as epididymo-orchitis.The Western medical treatment for orchitis
1. General treatment For mild acute orchitis, clinical diagnosis primarily involves physical treatment measures such as bed rest, local cold compresses, and scrotal elevation. Male experts recommend that this treatment is simple and effective, and can prevent the harm of antibiotics.
2. Antibiotic treatment If the patient's condition does not stabilize after simple physical treatment, or if the condition is relatively severe, necessary antibiotic treatment must be administered at the appropriate time.
