    Treatment methods for epididymitis include hot water sitz baths, intravenous antibiotics, incision and drainage, etc. The specific treatment methods should be determined according to the severity of the patient's symptoms.

    1. Hot water sitz bath

    Patients with orchitis can use hot water for a sitz bath, which can speed up local blood circulation, eliminate testicular inflammation, and improve symptoms.

    2. Intravenous antibiotics

    Patients with orchitis can be treated with intravenous injection of levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules, amoxicillin, azithromycin and other drugs.

    3. Incision and drainage

    When orchitis has formed an abscess, incision and drainage need to be performed under anesthesia. Postoperative oral anti-inflammatory drugs should be followed as prescribed by the doctor, such as cefixime dispersible tablets, azithromycin tablets, roxithromycin tablets, etc.
