Testicular inflammation (orchitis) does not resolve spontaneously and requires prompt medical intervention. A urologist should evaluate the patient, take a detailed history, perform necessary diagnostic tests, and establish a diagnosis to initiate immediate treatment. The general principles of management typically involve:
* Appropriate antibiotic therapy.
* Analgesic and anti-inflammatory medications.
* Bed rest.
* Scrotal elevation (lifting the affected testicle).
* Application of cold compresses (as medically advised).
