Patient's question:
Please ask the experts, the left testicle hurts, it will hurt a bit when sitting for a long time, what medicine is used for this epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, treatment1. Special treatment
If the patient seeks medical attention within 24 hours of onset, infiltration anesthesia of the spermatic cord above the testis with 20ml of 1% procaine or lidocaine can completely relieve this condition. The body temperature usually drops rapidly, pain can completely disappear, and inflammatory masses can absorb within a few days. Otherwise, it generally takes 2~3 weeks for absorption. If one injection does not achieve the desired effect, a second injection can be administered the next day.
Antibiotics are helpful in treatment, and secondary cystitis will be cured quickly. The choice of antibiotics should be based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Commonly used drugs include co-trimoxazole, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and other second and third-generation quinolone and cephalosporin drugs, all of which have good efficacy.
2. General treatment
During the acute phase (3~4 days), bed rest should be taken. Using a scrotal support can alleviate symptoms, and a homemade scrotal support with cotton padding is more comfortable to wear. For severe pain, painkillers can be used. Local heat therapy can relieve symptoms and promote the resolution of inflammation. However, early use of heat therapy can worsen pain and carry the risk of spreading infection, so local cold compresses with ice packs are recommended in the early stages. Sexual activity and physical labor can worsen the infection, so they should be avoided.
