Treatment of Orchitis

Treatment of orchitis mainly includes the following: 1. Medication: Antibiotics such as penicillin and ciprofloxacin are used to combat bacterial infection and reduce inflammation, thereby alleviating symptoms. Analgesics may also be administered according to the severity of pain. 2. Local therapy: During the early stage of inflammation, cold compresses can help relieve pain and prevent swelling. As the inflammation subsides, warm compresses may be applied to promote blood circulation and resolve inflammation. 3. Surgical treatment: For patients who have developed a testicular abscess, incision and drainage are required. In cases of severe testicular atrophy or destruction, surgical removal of the affected testicle (orchiectomy) may be considered. 4. Lifestyle adjustments: Patients should rest in bed and elevate the scrotum to reduce discomfort. It is important to keep the affected area clean and dry, and to avoid prolonged sitting or pressure on the scrotum.
