Editing Infections: Orchitis, & Epididymitis (section)

===Management===
*'''General principles of therapy include bed rest, scrotal support, hydration, antipyretics, anti-inflammatory agents, and analgesics.'''
**'''Treatment of chronic orchitis or orchialgia is supportive.''' Anti-inflammatory agents, analgesics, support, heat therapies, and nerve blocks all have a role in ameliorating symptoms.
*'''Antibiotic therapy (specific for UTIs, prostatitis, or sexually transmitted diseases) should be employed for infectious orchitis'''
**If early testing findings are negative or results are unavailable, empirical treatment should be initiated, directed at the most likely pathogens based on the available clinical information; '''a fluoroquinolone would be the best agent in this scenario.'''
**'''Orchitis resulting from Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection requires treatment with antituberculous drugs (rifampin, isoniazid, and pyrazinamide or ethambutol)''' and rarely surgery.
**'''There are no specific anti-viral agents available to treat orchitis caused by mumps''', and the previously mentioned supportive measures are important.
**Abscess formation is rare; if it does occur, then percutaneous or open drainage is necessary
*'''Spermatic cord blocks with injection of a local anesthetic''' may sometimes be needed to relieve severe pain.
*Surgical intervention is rarely indicated, unless testicular torsion (or rarely xanthogranulomatous orchitis) is suspected; orchidectomy is indicated only in cases in which pain control is refractory to all other measures (and even this might not be successful in alleviating the chronic pain)
