Patient's question:
Recently I noticed that my testicles have been slightly swollen and very painful. Even a light touch causes pain. My colleague said it might be testicular inflammation. I want to know how to treat testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
For this situation, a preliminary diagnosis may be orchitis. In terms of treatment, it is suitable to use antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs such as amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium or cephalosporin drugs. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to getting more rest, increasing exercise, wearing loose and breathable underwear, maintaining a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, abstaining from alcohol, and eliminating all bad habits. If there is no significant improvement, it is recommended to seek further treatment by visiting the urology department of a hospital for follow-up.
