Patient's question:
The night before yesterday, after masturbation, the left testicle swelled the next day. I got checked, and the doctor said it was orchitis. Later, I received 15 days of ceftriaxone and Salvia miltiorrhiza injections outside. The testicle started to harden and sink. Then I started taking Prostatic Capsule Shuxu. I took three boxes, but later it started to sink again. A few days ago, I felt the testicle starting to swell again.Doctor's answer:
During treatment, it is recommended that patients rest in bed, elevate the scrotum, and apply local heat. If the scrotal skin is significantly swollen, a warm compress with a medicinal solution can be used to aid in reducing inflammation. For cases where a testicular abscess has already formed, pus aspiration or incisional drainage may be considered. If the testicle is completely destroyed by pus, the affected testicle may be removed.As everyone knows, orchitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues—avoid foods and maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
