How to treat orchitis in men

The most common disease of the testicles is orchitis, which is an inflammatory disease caused by the body being affected by the outside world and the testicles being stimulated to a certain extent. This disease can be caused by bacterial infection, chronic diseases, and mumps. Therefore, the type of orchitis is related to the cause of the disease. After the patient's disease type is diagnosed, it needs to be treated immediately. So how should men treat orchitis?

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.

Treatment is: 1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory; 2. Bed rest, scrotal support, local hot compress, physical therapy; 1% lidocaine spermatic cord closure injection to relieve pain; 3. Abscess formation should be incised and drained;

3. Mumps orchitis

Mumps orchitis is caused by viral infection. Due to the implementation of planned immunization in my country, children are given vaccines for measles, rubella and mumps, and the incidence of this disease has decreased significantly in recent years. The disease is rare before puberty. Orchitis often occurs 4-6 days after the onset of mumps, but there may be no symptoms of mumps. About 70% are unilateral, and 50% of the affected testicles are atrophied.

(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.

How do men treat orchitis? The most important thing in treating the disease is to reduce inflammation. When the patient's testicles have pus, surgery must be performed to drain the pus to ensure that the orchitis disappears. The patient can take medication or receive intravenous fluid therapy. During the treatment, the disease care must be taken. There will be stinging pain when urinating, and there will be other abnormalities. The patient must overcome it and recover after the condition is relieved.
