Patient's question:
Hello Doctor!Gender: Male
Age: 29
Symptom Description: Five days after suffering from mumps, the right testicle swelled, enlarged, and hardened. After 10 days of intravenous infusion with ribavirin, the symptoms improved. During this period, intramuscular injections of interferon for five days led to the swelling of the testicle subsiding. However, about 10 days later, the testicle still persisted in pain. Another seven days of penicillin and ribavirin, as well as levofloxacin injection, did not show improvement. Recently, the testicle has swelled again. Could you please advise any effective methods to quickly treat this? I am very worried because I haven’t become a father yet.
Onset Time: February 6
Previous Treatment History and Allergies or Genetic Medical History: Previously hospitalized for four days and discharged after improvement. Before getting mumps, I had red bumps on my body, and they just appeared when I got mumps! Recently, I have been doing a complete blood count every three days: white blood cells 4.4, lymphocytes 0.473.
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, it is mainly caused by damp-heat in the liver channel descending. The treatment should focus on clearing damp-heat in the liver channel, and you can take Longdan Xiegan Wan. I believe everyone knows that urinary tract infections can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
