Which treatment is more reliable for orchitis, western medicine or TCM?

Orchitis, the inflammation of one or both testicles, can be healed by many methods. However, according to Dr. Lee’s TCM clinic, western medicine and TCM are the common treatments for orchitis. Then, which is more reliable for orchitis? 

 

According to the herbalist Dr. Lee Xiaoping, virus or bacteria are the major causes of orchitis. So, to cure the disease, clearing heat and killing bacteria are necessary. According to medical survey, the TCM treatment like diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill has the functions of clearing heat and killing bacteria, which means that it has strong broad-spectrum antimicrobial, bactericidal effect. Thus, the infection can be totally cleared with the treatment. 

Orchitis is harmful to men’s health

As an important organ, testicles is used to reproductive and do sex. Orchitis, a disease happens on testicles. its morbidity rate is around 12%-18%. Lots of factors can cause orchitis which now is a common disease for men such as infection, injures, tumors.

If Orchitis caused by bacteria and virus cannot be cured timely, many serious complications can be caused and unnecessary damages also can be produced.

Two types of orchitis

Orchitis is common male disease. When men’s testicles have inflammation or bacteria, it is orchitis. Orchitis not only bring pain, fever, chill, and other symptoms, but also the complications such as infertility, prostatitis, epididymitis and so on. Orchitis has many types, but the most common types are acute and chronic orchitis. Acute non-specific orchitis often occurs as a complication or secondary disease of urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis and BPH and other reproductive diseases. No matter you are a kid or an adult, you are very possible. Except the bacterial infection, the second most common cause is urinary system infection.

What is mumps?

What is mumps? Mumps not only is a sort of viral infection that primarily has effect on parotid glands, but also can affect male’s testicles and lead orchitis to men. Orchitis is inflammatory disease. When men have bacteria and inflammations in their testicles, there is no doubt that they affect orchitis. Almost 80% men affect orchitis in their puberty, and then their state of fertility remains unaltered. In the males before their post pubertal stage, it is predicted that about 30 % of men who develop infertility or orchitis is because of mumps. Most of the time, both testicles can be affected by mumps.

Prevention and health care methods of orchitis

What is orchitis? Can this disease be cured by pills? Actually, orchitis is disease. When men have inflammations and bacteria in their testicle, it is orchitis. This disease can be cured by pills, herbal pill - Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is one of the best pills that men can choose. Although this disease can be cured by pills, it is better for men prevent this disease, because sometimes the damage of this disease is permanent. So I want to introduce three prevention and health care ways for men to follow.

The exact reason of orchitis

Orchitis is testicle inflammatory lesion caused by various bacteria and virus. It can be classified into non-specific orchitis, virus orchitis, bacterial orchitis, spirochetal orchitis, parasitic orchitis, scathing orchitis, and chemical orchitis and so on. Specific orchitis always caused by the invasion of tuberculosis of epididymis, so it is very rarely. The most common orchitis are non-specific orchitis and mumps orchitis, and this disease also is one of the most common infertility reasons.

Acute non-specific orchitis: Acute non-specific orchitis always happens on those patients who have cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis and catheter. When inflammations spread to epididyms via lymph or seminiferous duct, it is epididymo-orchitis. Its common bacterial causes are escherichia coli, proteusbacillus vulgaris, staphylococcus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc. those bacteria can spread to testicles via blood stream to make men have simple orchitis. However, this situation is very rarely, because the blood circulations in testicle are sufficient and the resistance of bacteria is strong too.

What’s the symptom of orchitis?

Testis is an important organ for male. Not only can it produce sperm, it also is a place for sperm to move. If one man has been told that he has orchitis after exam, it obviously is a huge shock to him. There is no doubt that many complications can be caused by left untreated orchitis, so if one doesn’t want to affect complications, he should figure out what orchitis is first and then treat it.

Commonly, orchitis can be classified into chronic and acute orchitis and the causes of orchitis are various too. There is no doubt that it can be caused by screws, parasites infection, mumps and testis syphilis. It also can be caused by injures on testis, for the partly or wholly exposure under radioisotope phosphorus can damage testis tissues and lead to orchitis too. What’s more, the acute orchitis can develop into chronic orchitis if it left untreated or treat with incomplete treatment.
