Patient's question:
Left testicular drooping, swelling and pain, sensation in the groin area.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello: Orchitis (Orchitis) is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The testicles themselves rarely suffer from bacterial infections because they have a rich blood and lymphatic supply, making them highly resistant to bacterial infections. Most bacterial orchitis is caused by inflammation of the nearby epididymis, so it is also known as epididymo-orchitis. Common pathogens include staphylococcus, streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc.Advice: Rest in bed, support the scrotum, and apply local heat. If the scrotal skin is significantly swollen, use a 50% magnesium sulfate solution for to help reduce inflammation. For severe pain that does not respond well to painkillers, consider performing a nerve block on the affected side with 10 mL of 1% procaine. Systemic medication should include broad-spectrum or gram-negative bacteria-sensitive antibiotics, such as penicillin, gentamicin, and various cephalosporins. Traditional Chinese medicine primarily uses herbs to harmonize the body and expel toxins, clear heat, and reduce dampness. Herbal decoctions or prepared medicines based on the basic formula of Longdan Xiegan Decoction can be used. Apply topical remedies like Jinhuang ointment to clear heat and detoxify the affected area. If a testicular abscess has formed, consider draining the pus by aspiration or incision. If the testicle is completely destroyed by pus, the affected testicle may be removed. Strengthen personal hygiene and promptly control infections in the body.
