How long does orchitis usually take to heal?

Patient's question:

Last time, because I sat on the train for a long time and didn't change my underwear in time, it led to the inflammation of the testicle later. Now I'm very angry, a bit swollen, and I feel embarrassed to go to the hospital for treatment, so I want to handle it at home. What kind of help I need: How long does testicular inflammation usually last to heal?

Doctor's answer:

Orchitis is an inflammation caused by bacteria and viruses, which requires active treatment beyond the goal of complete self-healing. You do not need to worry or be anxious, as the condition is not severe. With the following active treatment for one to two weeks, it can be completely cured. It is recommended to receive two sets of active treatment through intravenous infusion: one set with Lomefloxacin Injection for active anti-bacterial infection, and another set with Ribavirin for active anti-viral transmission. Drink plenty of water, strictly avoid spicy and irritating foods, do not smoke or drink alcohol, and pay attention to rest.
