Patient's question:
My good university classmate is living with me now. Just recently, I've been feeling particularly unwell, as I've been experiencing severe pain in the testicular area while urinating. Gradually, the pain during urination became even worse. Later, after a check-up, I was diagnosed with acute non-specific orchitis.Doctor's answer:
Generally, medication is primarily used for treatment, along with bed rest and elevating the scrotum. Local cold or heat compresses can also be applied to alleviate symptoms. Due to the early use of antibiotics, especially intravenous antibiotics, suppurative orchitis and testicular abscesses are now less common. Additionally, applying traditional Chinese medicine Ruyijinhuang powder mixed with sesame oil to the scrotum also yields good results.As everyone knows, acute epididymitis can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary habits, with a focus on light meals and avoiding foods. Moreover, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
