About Testicle Infection

Testicle infection, medically known as orchitis or epididymo-orchitis, is an inflammatory condition of the testicle or the adjacent epididymis, often caused by bacterial or viral agents. A urologist manages this condition through a comprehensive approach that begins with a detailed physical examination, including a scrotal ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other issues like testicular torsion. Treatment primarily involves a course of prescribed antibiotics or antiviral medications to target the underlying infection. Supportive care, including scrotal elevation, ice packs, and anti-inflammatory pain relievers, is crucial for symptom relief. In severe or complicated cases, such as abscess formation, a urologist may perform a minor surgical drainage procedure. Prompt diagnosis and treatment by a specialist are essential to alleviate pain, prevent complications like infertility or testicular atrophy, and ensure a full recovery.
