In some cases, inflammation develops due to injury, hypothermia or other factors. This condition requires timely attention and treatment to avoid complications.
symptoms and diagnosis.
Orchitis usually begins abruptly, accompanied by severe pain in the testicular area, redness and swelling. Often the body temperature rises, and the overall well -being worsens. The skin of the scrotum becomes red, hot and swollen. Diagnosis includes a medical examination, blood tests in order to identify inflammatory processes, as well as bacteriological sowing to determine the pathogen and its sensitivity to antibiotics.
The main methods of treatment.
The treatment of orchitis is prescribed by a urologist and includes an integrated approach. The patient is recommended to observe bed rest, giving the testicle an elevated position and using cold compresses to reduce swelling. Drug therapy is based on antibacterial agents, which are selected individually depending on the identified pathogen. After removing acute inflammation, physiotherapeutic procedures are prescribed, such as UHF therapy, electrophoresis and warming compresses. In severe cases, when the abscess is formed in the testicle, surgical intervention may be required.
Addition of treatment with folk remedies.
Folk treatment methods can be used as auxiliary measures, but only after consulting a doctor. A popular remedy is herbal infusion. For its preparation, herbs are mixed, such as chamomile, knotweed, pear, lingonberry and birch leaves, as well as rosehip fruits. Drink a third of a glass of infusion 5 times a day, which helps reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system..
