Orchitis Homeopathic Treatment

The male reproductive system makes, stores and moves sperm. Testicles produce sperm. Fluid from the seminal vesicles and prostate gland combine with sperm to make semen. The penis ejaculates semen during sexual intercourse.

Orchitis can be caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Sometimes a cause of orchitis can't be determined.

Bacterial orchitis

Most often, bacterial orchitis is associated with or the result of epididymitis. Epididymitis usually is caused by an infection of the urethra or bladder that spreads to the epididymis.

Often, the cause of the infection is an STI. Other causes of infection can be related to having been born with abnormalities in your urinary tract or having had a catheter or medical instruments inserted into your penis.

Viral orchitis

The mumps virus usually causes viral orchitis. Nearly one-third of males who contract the mumps after puberty develop orchitis, usually four to seven days after onset of the mumps.

Orchitis signs and symptoms usually develop suddenly and can include:

Swelling in one or both testicles

Pain ranging from mild to severe

Fever

Nausea and vomiting

General feeling of unwellness (malaise)

The terms "testicle pain" and "groin pain" are sometimes used interchangeably. But groin pain occurs in the fold of skin between the thigh and abdomen — not in the testicle. The causes of groin pain are different from the causes of testicle pain.

Your doctor is likely to start with your medical history and a physical exam to check for enlarged lymph nodes in your groin and an enlarged testicle on the affected side. Your doctor might also do a rectal examination to check for prostate enlargement or tenderness.

Your doctor might recommend:

STI screen. If you have discharge from your urethra, a narrow swab is inserted into the end of your penis to obtain a sample of the discharge. The sample is checked in the laboratory for gonorrhea and chlamydia. Some STI screens are done with a urine test.

Urine test. A sample of your urine is analyzed to see if anything's abnormal.

Ultrasound. This imaging test is the one most commonly used to assess testicular pain. Ultrasound with color Doppler can determine if the blood flow to your testicles is lower than normal — indicating torsion — or higher than normal, which helps confirm the diagnosis of orchitis.

Homeopathic mode of treatment is an ideal choice for inflammation of testicles also known as orchitis. In homeopathy, homeopathic remedies for orchitis give rise to the immune system to get rid of the infection and promote the natural healing process.

Homeopathic treatment for Orchitis also relieves the symptoms including heaviness in the testicles, burning urination, painful urination, painful ejaculation, pain in the groin area and discharge from the penis etc.
