The main treatment methods for acute orchitis include: 1. General treatment: Pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid wearing tight underwear, and keep the affected area clean. For mild symptoms, local heat application can be used to relieve discomfort. 2. Medication: Use antibiotics under a doctor's guidance, such as Levofloxacin Hydrochloride Capsules, Norfloxacin Capsules, etc., to inhibit the inflammatory response. If pain occurs, analgesics such as Ibuprofen Sustained-Release Capsules can be used. 3. Surgical treatment: If the condition is severe, such as testicular abscess or necrosis, surgical treatment is required, including procedures like incision and drainage of the abscess or surgical removal of the affected testicle.
