The main goal of orchitis treatment is to eliminate the inflammatory process and destroy pathogenic microorganisms. For this purpose, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agents, immunomodulators and a number of other medications are used. The treatment plan is made by the attending physician, based on the results of the diagnostics.

Treatment of orchitis at home comes down to treating the affected tissues of the scrotum with antiseptics and special ointments that speed up the recovery process. In combination with the medications prescribed by the doctor, non-traditional methods can be used, for example, infusions and decoctions of medicinal herbs, compresses, and rinsing.

• Take 100 g of flax seeds and pour them into a bag made of natural fabric or gauze. Put the bag into a pan of boiling water and boil for 20 minutes. The remedy should be infused for about 10-15 minutes, then squeeze it out, cool it a little and apply to the inflamed scrotum.
• Take two parts of sweet clover, three parts of birch leaves and lingonberries, four parts of chamomile flowers, five parts of immortelle and 10 parts of rose hips.
