Patient's question:
I want to ask you a question. I have a friend who is currently sick. He was just diagnosed yesterday with acute orchitis, and his condition is a bit serious now. He is currently feeling pain in the lower abdomen and having difficulty urinating.Doctor's answer:
If the patient visits within 24 hours of onset, infiltration anesthesia of the spermatic cord above the testis with 20ml of 1% procaine or lidocaine can potentially fully alleviate the condition. The temperature usually drops rapidly, pain can completely disappear, and inflammatory masses may absorb within a few days. Otherwise, it generally takes 2 to 3 weeks for absorption. If a single 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 heal quickly. The choice of antibiotics should be based on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. Commonly used medications include co-trimoxazole, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and other second and third-generation quinolone and cephalosporin drugs, all of which have good efficacy.
