What anti-inflammatory medicine should I take for testicular pain?

What is the lifeblood of men? Of course, it is the reproductive organs of men - testicles and penis. From a medical point of view, male testicles have an important "mission". After all, testicles are where men store sperm, so they need special protection. Then some men will feel testicular pain in daily life. This situation may be caused by orchitis. So what kind of anti-inflammatory drugs can relieve it?

Western medicine treatment

1) Non-specific orchitis

Usually, procaine penicillin is used, 800,000 units each time, twice a day, intramuscular injection. For those who are allergic to penicillin, cyclofloxacin lactate injection can be used intravenously, 200 mg each time for adults, once every 12 hours, for a course of 3-5 days. Or gentamicin, 80,000 units each time, twice a day, intramuscular injection, for 5-7 days. After the inflammation is under control, oral antibacterial drugs such as sinoproliferative proline, co-trimoxazole or ofloxacin are used instead. For example, oral fluazifop, 0.2 grams each time, 3 times a day; or talibitol, 0.2 grams each time, 2 times a day, for 5-7 days.

2) Mumps orchitis is caused by a viral infection. It is rare before puberty. Orchitis often occurs 4-6 days after the onset of mumps, but it may also be without mumps symptoms. About 70% of cases are unilateral, and 50% of the affected testicles are atrophied. Bilateral testicular infection can lead to infertility.

According to the clinical manifestations and signs, laboratory tests can make a clear diagnosis. However, it still needs to be distinguished from acute epididymitis clinically. In the early stage of acute orchitis, the inflamed epididymis can be palpated, but in the later stage, the boundary between the epididymis and the testicle is unclear. Urethral secretions and purulent urine are not systemic infectious diseases and can help with diagnosis.

Chinese medicine treatment

The treatment principle is to clear away heat and detoxify and to clear the liver and calm fire. The drugs include Gentiana, Bupleurum, Phellodendron, Scutellaria, Plantago, and Zexie. If it is viral orchitis, you can use Chinese medicines such as Yinhua, Lianshao, Isatis, Scrophularia, Taraxacum, and Indigo. Or use the Chinese medicine preparation Isatis injection 2 ml each time, 1-2 times a day, intramuscular injection.

Topical medications

Applying it to the scrotum can relieve pain and help reduce testicular swelling.

Prevention and Health Care

1. Sexual intercourse is prohibited.

2. Drink more boiled water and avoid spicy, irritating and greasy food. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to increase the intake of vitamin C and other ingredients to improve the body's anti-inflammatory ability. Eat less so-called "irritating foods" such as pig's trotters, fish soup, and mutton, so as to avoid increasing secretions in the inflamed area, further infiltrating and aggravating the symptoms.

3. Rest in bed.
