Question 1

for mumps doc suggested signoflam tablet for 10 days,2 times a day..now he got orchitis can he continue to take the same tablet till he feels better?

Accepted Answer

Anti inflammatory: Signoflam is an antiinflammatory its not an antiviral medication. Mmps is caused by a virus. You will not stop the progression of the disease with any medication. The signoflam will only help with the pain from swelling or with fever.

Question 2

is norfloxacin 400mg bd given by my doctor useful for epididymo-orchitis?does it have enough penetration into the tissues?no prior sexual history.

Accepted Answer

Not available: My info says the last of this Med was discontinued in 2014.  Where are you?   Check with your Doc.  You may need another antibiotic.

Question 3

i have been taking cefuroxime for 3 wks for orchitis.my doctor gave me norfloxacin recently.is it ok to take them together?will it foster resistance?

Accepted Answer

Use caution: Possibly ok but check with your prescribing doctor. Or Orchitis treatment should be complete by 3 weeks. Why did they add quinolone (levoflox)?

Question 4

i had epididymo orchitis in jan 2014.i had no infection it was cause of excess masturbation, doc gave me some meds.will i have any problem in future?

Accepted Answer

I doubt it.: If you are wondering do a sperm count for your doctor to examine.

Question 5

doctor diagnosis orchitis& hydrocele few weeks ago. got better, but now i have ab/testicular discomfort w/ nausea. should i head to er?

Accepted Answer

Testis pain: At your age, torsion of the testicle has to be ruled. You could be having intermittent torsion. A Doppler scrotal U/S should help make the diagnosis. If you can't be seen by your doctor ASAP , go to the ER.

Question 6

is cefpodoxime 200mg twice per day by my doc good for treating non-std epididymo-orchitis? no sexual history and i have problems with quinolones.

YES: YES; however, this infection requires very careful followup.

Question 7

petechia 2 weeks. blood work done. normal platelet count, stomach pain 24hrs . orchitis 2 hrs ,  sore throat at start , doctor has no answer , help ?

Accepted Answer

Platelet function: Platelet count may be ok, but their function may not be ok if youre getting pettechia. This deserves further investigation. COnsider a blood disorder specialist- a hematologist to look into why you have pettechia.

Question 8

have been diagnosed with epididymo-orchitis by a respected dermatologist, purely physical examination no labs or imaging, prescribed 750mg ciprofloxac?

Accepted Answer

Do you mean: Urologist?  This  would be out of the scope of practice for most dermatologists.

Question 9

do a lot of people get orchitis?

Accepted Answer

Testes infix: It is a common condition usually easily treated with a course of antibiotics.

Question 10

how long would it take orchitis to heal?

Accepted Answer

4-6weeks: Orchitis is an inflammation or infection of the testicle, often caused by a virus or bacteria. Symptoms of orchitis include pain, swelling, or a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum. Orchitis occurs most often in men who have mumps... Getting the right diagnosis and treatment for orchitis caused by bacteria can usually preserve the normal testicle function.
