    Orchitis can be treated through anti-infective treatment, physical therapy, surgical treatment, daily care, and traditional Chinese medicine conditioning. Orchitis may be related to bacterial infection, viral infection, trauma and other factors, and usually manifests as scrotal pain, swelling, fever and other symptoms.

    1. Anti-infection treatment

    Bacterial orchitis requires the use of antibiotics as directed by the doctor, such as cefixime dispersible tablets, levofloxacin tablets, azithromycin granules, etc. Antiviral drugs such as acyclovir tablets can be used for viral orchitis. It is necessary to avoid drinking alcohol during medication and observe adverse drug reactions.

    2. Physical therapy

    In the acute stage, a scrotal support can be used to reduce swelling, and ice compress can be used to relieve pain.; In the chronic stage, local hot compress can be used to promote blood circulation. Physical therapy is performed 2-3 times a day, each session lasting no more than 20 minutes. Care must be taken to prevent skin frostbite or burns.

    3. Surgical treatment

    Combined testicular abscess requires incision and drainage, and severe testicular ischemia may require orchidectomy. After surgery, it is necessary to keep the incision dry, change dressings regularly, monitor changes in body temperature, and be alert for complications such as postoperative infection.

    4. Life care

    During the illness, you should rest in bed and avoid sitting for long periods of time or strenuous exercise. Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to reduce friction and clean the perineum daily. Eat a light diet, drink plenty of water to promote metabolism, and limit the intake of spicy and irritating foods.

    5. Traditional Chinese Medicine Conditioning

    Longdan Xiegan Pills can be used to clear away heat and dampness, combined with Jinhuang Powder for external application to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Acupuncture selects Sanyinjiao, Guanyuan and other acupoints and must be operated by professional doctors. During the treatment period, avoid eating cold or raw food to avoid overexertion.

    Patients with orchitis should avoid holding back urine and excessive sexual intercourse, and check semen quality regularly within 3 months after recovery. If you have persistent high fever, severe pain or difficulty urinating, seek medical attention immediately. Strengthen daily exercise to enhance physical fitness, pay attention to perineal hygiene, and prevent urinary tract infections and other triggering factors.
