Viêm tinh hoàn

Khái niệm chung

Epididymo-orchitis is the painful swelling of the testes and the tubes attached to each testicle. It is a common infection in adults. It can be mild to severe and is mostly caused by a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It can also be caused by other germs.

 

Bác Sĩ Gia Đình của tôi sẽ làm gì vào lúc này?

Your GP will ask about your health history. They will examine your testes, looking for the possible cause of swelling and pain. They may also screen you for STIs and other germs. Often treatment involves taking a course of antibiotics. Your GP may also refer you to a sexual health clinic to help manage your STI and contact tracing.

 

Bác Sĩ Gia Đình của tôi sẽ làm gì sau đó?

Your GP will see you again after four to five days to make sure your symptoms are getting better. They may discuss the results from your STI screening or other tests. It may take a few weeks for the swelling and pain to go away. Your GP may refer you to a specialist doctor if your symptoms are not getting better.

Tôi nên hỏi bác sĩ của mình những gì?

  • What if my symptoms change?
  • What is contact tracing?
  • Are there any complications?

Tôi nên làm gì?

Attend all follow-up appointments with your GP. Tell your doctor if your symptoms don’t improve. Finish your entire course of antibiotics even if you feel better.

Look after your scrotum by:

  • Minimising physical activity
  • Wearing firmly fitting underwear with soft padding
  • Using an ice pack
  • Taking medicine for pain and swelling
  • Soaking in a sitz bath

You should not have sex until seven days after stopping treatment if you’ve had an STI.
