How to effectively treat orchitis

The treatment of orchitis requires a comprehensive approach. Symptomatic management should be provided according to specific symptoms, such as using analgesics and antibiotics, along with local physical therapies like heat application to relieve pain. If the inflammation is accompanied by abscess formation, surgical incision and drainage may be necessary. In addition, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory therapy is crucial, typically involving adequate doses of broad-spectrum antibiotics to eliminate bacterial infection. Traditional Chinese medicine treatments based on principles such as clearing heat and detoxifying, or soothing liver fire, may also be considered. Medications such as procaine penicillin and gentamicin can be selected according to the clinical condition. During treatment, patients should maintain proper care measures, such as supporting the scrotum and applying local heat, to promote resolution of inflammation.
