This afternoon, I received a personal letter from the patient, transcribed as follows: I am a retired military cadre, in August this year in a hospital in Beijing for partial prostatectomy, two days later, complicated by epididymitis, the right testicle swollen as big as a duck’s egg, less than a week left testicle also swollen, scrotum swollen like a fully inflated balloon, difficult to move. At that time, antibiotics were administered intravenously for about ten days, but the effect was not good, and the fever was about 38.6℃ at night. During the hospitalization, the right side of the scrotum broke naturally and flowed pus. In addition to continuing anti-inflammatory antibiotics, the doctor cut open the scrotum to drain the pus, and the size of the scrotum decreased significantly, but the testicles were still swollen and the improvement was slow. In this case, the urologist requested a consultation from the Department of Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy to assist in the treatment. Director Li Xi diagnosed and determined to give me pulsed magnetic therapy, ultrashort wave therapy, and infrared irradiation treatment. After doing the first phototherapy, a small opening was naturally broken on the left side of the scrotum and pus was drained outward. After eighteen times of the three physical therapy modalities, I received good results. The incision on the right side of the scrotum where the pus was drained quickly healed, the enlarged testicle was significantly reduced, and the right testicle basically returned to normal. I feel that the traditional physiotherapy method, which is simple and feasible, has no side effects, and can really make an opening for the antibiotics to reach the lesion smoothly. And it can play a supplementary therapeutic role in reducing swelling, draining pus and wound healing. It can feel unexpectedly surprising and receive very good results. When I first saw the patient, his scrotum was enlarged in a spherical shape, the initial measurement at that time was about 13cm in diameter, the scrotum was hard in texture, and there were 3 scattered raised pustules (about 1cm in diameter) and 1 drainage opening on the surface. On the first day, four physical therapy programs were scheduled, the last one was ultraviolet irradiation treatment, after which a pustule on the surface of the scrotum naturally broke down and flowed pus; only three sessions of ultraviolet irradiation treatment were scheduled, and 18 sessions each of pulsed magnetic therapy, ultrashort wave therapy and medium wave infrared therapy were performed. The physiotherapy prescription was designed as follows: pulsed magnetic therapy to reduce swelling, ultrashort-wave therapy to reduce deep inflammation, medium-wave infrared to reduce superficial inflammation, and ultraviolet light to target the pustules on the scrotal surface and the infection of the drainage port. The patient feels that his symptoms are improving every day, and his scrotum and testicles have basically returned to normal size, but he feels that his left testicle is still mildly hard. The patient’s personal experience illustrates the synergistic effect of physiotherapy and drugs. Physiotherapy can not only “navigate” the antibiotics, but also make the antibiotics twice as effective, while local physiotherapy can make the inflammatory tissues return to their normal state soon.
