In clinic, testicle plays a crucial role in the reproductive process for men; it can be said that only having normal testicular function can complete fertility. However, testes disease is the common disease for men, such as orchitis. And currently, there are many treatments for orchitis. Then what is the best treatment for orchitis?

The incidence of orchitis is mainly caused by virus or bacteria. Viruses can directly infringe the testis and induce testicular disease such as the common mumps. And because the testicle itself is more resistant to bacterial infection, bacterial orchitis is mostly caused by adjacent organs, such as the epididymis; and the common pathogenic bacteria for this disease are staphylococcus, streptococcus and E. coli.

After understanding about the pathogenesis of orchitis, the what are the treatments for orchitis? In fact, orchitis treatment can be divided into two major types: traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

For bacterial orchitis, Western medicine advocates anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial treatment. In the early stage of the illness, the patients can choose hot compress; for example, they can choose 50% magnesium sulfate solution with moist heat to help subsided inflammation. Then doctors can use bacteria sensitive antibiotics for the treatment, such as the commonly used penicillin, gentamicin, etc. In the option of these antibiotics,doctors need to do experiments analyze according to the patient's specific susceptibility. For the patients with mumps orchitis, the antibiotics are often ineffective; the main treatment should go with the symptoms accordingly. In case of testicular pain, sedation and analgesia treatment can be used.

In addition to the Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) also has its own advantages. Of course, in recognition of orchitis, traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are different. In the view of TCM, they hold a view that the main mechanism of orchitis attribute to the internal gather of damp heat and toxin, so the treatment should aim at clearing heat and removing toxin, activating blood and resolving stasis etc.

Among the herbal medicines, take the herbal medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill for example. The herbal medicine is invented by the herbalist Dr.Li Xiaoping from Wuhan with over 30 years clinical experience.

Then, which treatment is the better treatment for orchitis?

Surely, many patients don't know how to choose the treatment as there are so many treatments for this disease. Wuhan herbalist Li Xiaoping tell the patients that the treatment suits most is the best.

Commonly, if the patients are in the early stage of this disease, they can choose the antibiotic treatment first as it works quickly to this disease. However, due to the obvious side effects of antibiotics, so it can't play the best effect to all the patients.If the antibiotic works invalidly or the disease develops into chronic testicles, the safe and natural traditional Chinese medicine,such as the diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill, is more suitable for the patients. So for the best treatment for orchitis, it depends on the symptoms and condition of the disease.
