Men's testicles are round like balls, of course, some men's testicles are also irregularly round. Men must take care to protect their testicles in life, especially during sports, such as football and basketball, to avoid testicles from being hit.

Symptoms of orchitis

1. High fever and chills.

2. Testicular pain, with radiating pain in the scrotum, thigh and groin areas.

3. The diseased testicles are swollen and tender. If purulent, there is a fluctuating feeling of purulent accumulation upon palpation.

5. Children with viral orchitis may sometimes experience parotid gland enlargement and pain.

Orchitis Treatment

1. Bacterial orchitis

Rest in bed, lift the scrotum, and apply local hot compress. If the scrotal skin is obviously swollen, apply 50% magnesium sulfate solution for hot compress to help the inflammation subside. If the pain is severe and the painkillers are not effective, the spermatic cord on the affected side can be closed. Systemic medication should be broad-spectrum or Gram-negative antibiotics, such as penicillin, gentamicin, and various cephalosporins.

2. Chronic nonspecific orchitis

Bilateral chronic orchitis can often cause infertility. Treatment is mainly aimed at the cause of chronic orchitis.

3. Mumps orchitis

(1) Antibiotics are ineffective for this disease, so symptomatic treatment is the main approach.

(2) The use of adrenocortical hormones has a clear therapeutic effect on patients in the recovery stage.

(3) 1% lidocaine low spermatic cord closure can improve testicular blood flow and protect spermatogenesis.

(4) In addition to being effective in treating acute mumps orchitis, interferon also has a significant effect in preventing testicular atrophy.

4. Treatment of testicular pain

Symptomatic treatment should be carried out on the basis of determining the cause. If the cause cannot be found for the time being, symptomatic treatment such as sedation and analgesia can be used. If necessary, spermatic cord procaine closure therapy can be used.
