Patient's question:
When first discovered, there was a nodule the size of a chicken egg yolk in the testicle, painless and itchy. After 10 days of intravenous fluids with penicillin and metronidazole, the nodule shrank. Two days later, it slightly grew but remained the size of a small soybean. At the county hospital, the doctor examined it and diagnosed it as tuberculosis, prescribing rifampicin, which made it disappear.Doctor's answer:
The orchitis you described is recommended to be treated with intravenous antibiotics, such as ceftriaxone sodium and levofloxacin, hormones, local heat application, or an injection block in the groin area to reduce testicular edema. Oral Salvia miltiorrhiza tablets should be taken, and spicy foods should be avoided. I believe everyone knows that urinary tract infections 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, with a focus on light meals and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, follow-up visits can be scheduled as necessary.
