Treatment for Orchitis
The treatment of orchitis depends on its cause:
Viral orchitis
If a patient is suffering from viral orchitis, antibiotics are generally ineffective. The treatment of viral orchitis is mainly to relieve symptoms.
1. The use of adrenocorticotropic hormone has a definite curative effect on convalescent patients, whose main purpose is to relieve the pain and symptoms of patients.
2. 1% lidocaine can improve the blood flow of the testicles and protect spermatogenic function.
3. Interferon not only has a good effect on acute mumps orchitis but also has a significant effect on preventing testicular atrophy.
In addition, the doctor may advise you to stay in bed, raise the scrotum, and carry out local cold compress.
Bacterial orchitis
If the cause of the infection is a sexually transmitted disease, your partner should be treated together.
Bed rest is effective for mild bacterial orchitis. It can prevent the abuse of antibiotics and avoid the huge harm of drugs to the human body. The main physical therapy refers to local hot compresses and raising scrotum. Hot compress with magnesium sulfate solution is beneficial to inflammation and pain relief.
Antibiotic treatment is a commonly used western medicine treatment method; the most commonly used antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial orchitis are ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, azithromycin, trimethoprim, SMZco. Generally, intramuscular injection or intravenous injection of penicillin will be carried out about two to four times a day.
For those allergic to penicillin, erythromycin can be selected, and then intravenous injection of glucose can be added. At the same time, it can be used together with SMZco. For acute bacterial orchitis, surgery can be performed.
The incision for drainage is mainly performed for those patients with an abscess in the testis. For more severe conditions, such as those with severe testicular atrophy and destruction, generally, Orchiectomy of the affected testis will be carried out, and herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can be taken as the postoperative auxiliary treatment.
For those with severe testicular pain, procaine must be used to seal the affected side of the spermatic cord, which can play a role in pain relief, swelling reduction, promoting testicular blood circulation, and protecting spermatogenesis function. It should be noted that if antibiotic treatment is carried out, even if the symptoms are relieved quickly, the whole course of treatment needs to be completed to ensure that the infection is completely eliminated.
According to the treatment experience, if conventional medicine has a poor curative effect on the patients with chronic orchitis, patients can also be treated with herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, which has a complete formula. The clinical effect is very significant.
The heat-clearing and detoxifying effect of this pill can kill all kinds of bacteria and viruses and eliminate pathogens; meanwhile, the blood activating and stasis removing effect in the prescription can help eliminate the symptoms of patients, such as swelling, pain, etc., and achieve the purpose of symptomatic treatment.
The key point is that the formula is made of natural materials, safe without side effects, no drug resistance, no drug dependence, which can enhance the patient's immunity at the same time during treatment so as to promote the recovery and prevention of diseases, and the clinical cure rate is high.
However, the specific treatment plan still needs to be combined with the patient's symptoms, signs, and diagnosis. When you see a doctor, you should remind the doctor of other drugs you are taking and which ones you are allergic to. These information, including whether orchitis is caused by sexually transmitted diseases, the type of sexually transmitted diseases, etc., can help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
