How should orchitis be treated?

Treatment of orchitis mainly includes the following: 1. Medication: For patients with orchitis, the first step is to use sensitive antimicrobial agents for anti-inflammatory treatment, such as broad-spectrum antibiotics, starting from a low dose and gradually increasing it to alleviate local bacterial infection. 2. Local therapy: During the early stage of inflammation, cold compresses can be applied to relieve pain and prevent the spread of inflammation. In the later stages, heat compresses may be used to promote blood circulation and help resolve inflammation. 3. Surgical treatment: If orchitis leads to abscess formation, surgical incision and drainage are required. In cases of severe testicular atrophy, orchiectomy may be necessary. 4. General care: Patients should remain on bed rest during treatment and elevate the scrotum to reduce pain. Additionally, they should maintain healthy lifestyle and dietary habits, avoiding prolonged sitting and long periods of cycling.
