How long does it take for orchitis to heal? How to treat it?

Men often take it lightly when they first get infected with orchitis, thinking that it won't be a big problem. But if they wait until it becomes serious to seek treatment, they will not have the patience to take medication according to the course of treatment because the effect is slow. So how long does it take for orchitis to be completely cured? What methods are generally used for treatment? The following editor will answer your questions one by one.

The speed of recovery from orchitis depends first on the cause and severity of the disease. Generally speaking, intensive treatment needs to be maintained for more than three months, and future maintenance and health care are also very important. Inflammation is usually caused by blood infection, or bacteria retrogradely infecting the epididymis and other related organs through the urethra. The clinical manifestation is related local pain. When there is external damage, there will be local swelling or congestion. Vigorous exercise and sexual life will cause strong contraction of the levator testis muscle, which will cause the local frenulum to twist and cause severe pain.

The treatment of orchitis is generally local treatment: external application of Yulu ointment and Jinhuang ointment. If the scrotum is obviously red and swollen, use 50% magnesium sulfate solution for hot compress, and use a cloth belt to hold up the scrotum. Antibacterial drugs can also be used: penicillin can be used, 400,000 units each time, 4 times a day. If there is a penicillin allergy, you can also choose to use Pioneer Mycin, 4 to 6 grams a day, divided into 4 intramuscular or intravenous injections, 3 to 5 days as a course of treatment. Chinese medicine can also be used: in the acute stage, you can use Guanzhong 15 grams, 9 grams of orange seed, 9 grams of red peony root, 9 grams of gentian grass, 20 grams of dandelion, 9 grams of Phellodendron, 9 grams of lily, and 9 grams of Chuanlianzi. Decoction, 1 dose per day. In the chronic stage, you can use Chuanlianzi 9 grams, peach kernel 6 grams, motherwort 15 grams, 9 grams of orange seed, seaweed 9 grams, and 9 grams of kelp. Decoction in water, 1 dose per day.
