Dr. Luo Yong

There are several treatment methods for orchitis, mainly including the following:

1. Daily care: In daily life, maintaining good hygiene and consuming foods high in protein, rich in vitamins, and high in calories, such as clear chicken soup, eggs, meats, and fresh fruits and vegetables, can meet the body's needs and enhance immune function.

2. Antibiotics: If the orchitis is bacterial, antibiotics can be used for treatment, which are generally effective against bacterial orchitis.

3. Antiviral drugs: If the orchitis is viral, antiviral medications may be required, as these drugs are effective in specifically treating viral orchitis.

4. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and aspirin enteric-coated tablets, which are used to relieve pain caused by orchitis.

5. Supportive treatment: While undergoing other treatments, maintaining good hygiene and作息 habits, avoiding sexual activity as much as possible, and preventing infection and recurrence are also important.
