What Is Chronic Orchitis?

Chronic orchitis isn't well-defined. It's thought to be part of a health issue called orchalgia (chronic testicular pain). Epididymo-orchitis is the sudden swelling of both the epididymis and the testis.

Can orchitis be cured?

There's no cure for viral orchitis, but the condition will go away on its own. In the meantime, you can use remedies at home to manage your symptoms. Taking pain relievers, applying ice packs, and elevating the testicles when possible can make you more comfortable.

What is the treatment for orchitis?

Orchitis treatment is mostly supportive and should include bed rest and the use of hot or cold packs for pain. Antibacterial medications are not indicated for the treatment of viral orchitis, and most cases of mumps-associated orchitis resolve spontaneously after three to 10 days.
