BoooBooo : Inflamation Of Testicles (Orchitis) Problems & Remedies
From booobooo on 2009-10-25

Orchitis is an inflammation of one or both of the testicles, often caused by infection. Orchitis may be caused by numerous bacterial and viral organisms. It is usually a consequence of epididymitis, which is inflammation of the epididymis (the tube which connects the vas deferens and the testicle).

ORCHITIS, Inflamattion of Testis - Signs & Symptoms

- Scrotal swelling
- Tender, swollen, heavy feeling in the testicle
- Tender, swollen groin area on affected side
- Fever
- Discharge from penis
- Pain with urination (dysuria)
- Pain with intercourse or ejaculation
- Groin pain
- Testicle pain aggravated by bowel movement or straining
- Blood in the semen

Homeopathic Medicines & Treatment for ORCHITIS, Inflamattion of Testis
#Pulsatilla.
Orchitis and epididymitis from suppressed gonorrhoea, calls for this remedy. The testicles is retracted, enlarged, sensitive and dark red, there are dragging pains along the spermatic cord, and shooting down into the thigh. Hamamelis. The keynote for this remedy is exquisite soreness. There is a dull aching pain in the testes and spermatic cords. Franklin thought highly of this remedy in orchitis. Oxalic acid. Neuralgic pains in the spermatic cords. Belladonna. Great sensitiveness, intolerance of pain and reflex neuralgias indicate this remedy.

#Clematis.
Gonorrhoeal orchitis, or that brought on from cold, where the testicle is a hard as a stone and very painful, calls for this remedy. It especially reduces the swelling and sensitiveness. The testicles are retracted, drawn up and sensitiveness and pressive pains in the spermatic cords, especially the right. There is much urethral irritation,and the pains are generally aggravated at night by warmth of the bed. Gelsemium ' is a superior,' says Helmuth, 'when the disease arises from a suppressed gonorrhoeal discharge or from exposure to sudden cold and wet.'

#Rhododendron. [Rhod]
Chronic orchitis, indurated testicles which tend to atrophy; a characteristic sensation is a feeling in the testicles as if crushed. Aurum. Chronic orchitis, worse on right side with neuralgia of the cord. Staphisgaria has a burning and stinging pain in the right spermatic cord, with drawing in the right testicles.

#Spongia [Spong]
produces a hardness and swelling of the testicles, and it is suitable for mal-treated orchitis when there is a squeezing pain in the testicles. It suits chronic orchitis and epididymitis. The spermatic cords are swollen and painful, shooting pains course up the spermatic cord. In orchitis it follows Pulsatilla and Hamamelis.

I have seen your posts of 2008 in the back pages of the Forum.

In addition to this problem ...if you have sore throat, cough , weezing etc ...and swollen glands under the lower jaw...then Spongia is best for you.

If you have body aches ...specially >>>situation is worse before a thunder storm is building up...then Rhododendron.

If you have Vericose veins, also piles...then Hamamelis.

If you get relief in fresh air, have digestive problems when ever you eat creamy (ice creams, pastries, oily stuff) foods...then Pulsatilla.

Clematis... you tried on the advice of Rishimba...it gave some relief but did not get rid of your problem. (As per your old posts)...so no need to try that again.

Thanks Parkaj Varma. Last year (early in the year) my homeopathic doctor prescribed me spongia 12C(that didn't do much for me. I took it for several weeks), then he prescribed me hyphur 12C for another 3 weeks that didn't do much. Then I took pulsatilla 12C again for about a week that didn't do much and then he prescribed me lycop 12C for two weeks at the beginning I didn't see any improvements but then I started feeling better. Eventually my symptoms went away. I don't know if it was becasuse of the remedy or because I started drinking alkaline water (Kagen water) along with be being happier. I was okay for about 8 to 9 months then the symptoms started coming back first irritation in the head of pennis and the forskin then that went away and the pain, discomfort and especially tenderness started coming back in the right side where the right testicle is and all the glands attached to that testicle. I went to my urulogist and he checked again and found no infection. My homeopathic doctor again told me to take lycop 12C which I did for 3 weeks with no results this time. So right now I went back to clematis 12C (yesterday to be exact). What do you think? is that okay. My symptoms right now are pain, discomfort and tenderness in the epididymus glands and vas deferens as far as my mental being worry, nervous and anxious at times because of the discomfort but when that gets lower I worry less. When my symptoms are more mild obviously I feel more relax. my testicle (ball) itself feels normal it is just the glands attached to it. Don't know if there's still something there even though test indicate no infection but there're some many different infections, bacterial. Also, maybe nerve damage from the original infection in 2007. what you think would work for me? please let me know. thank you so much

Take a dose of Sulphur 200...then take doses of these meds ..one by one...see which one suits you.

Sulphur clears the way for a well selected med to Act.

The right med will begin to work on you within 10 minutes of taking the dose.

Through internet...sometimes there are limitations in selecting a single remedy...so you will have to do the trial process.

Pankaj Varma
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Start with other meds ..24 hours after the dose of Sulphur.

Then take one med each day. Allow it to work on you and read the response.
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
When a low potency exhausts its action, go to the next higher and next higher.

In your case...30c >>> 200C >>> 1M

But higher potencies are to be taken less frequently.

But you have not given me answers to these posers:



1. In addition to this problem ...if you have sore throat, cough , weezing etc ...and swollen glands under the lower jaw...then Spongia is best for you.

2. If you have body aches ...specially >>>situation is worse before a thunder storm is building up...then Rhododendron.

3. If you have Vericose veins, also piles...then Hamamelis.

4. If you get relief in fresh air, have digestive problems when ever you eat creamy (ice creams, pastries, oily stuff) foods...then Pulsatilla.

5. Aurum Met. ...if you have hypertension along with this problems. Dislike opposition to your ideas...and loathing / dislike of life leading to suicidal thought process.

If you answer them, it will be easier for me to guide you better.

PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Hi Pankaj,here are my answers

1. I don't have a sore throat, cough and swollen glands
2. The body aches that I have in the last few day a littled bloated and stomach discomfort probably do to the herbs, probiotics, bioflavonoids, candisol, wheatgrass powder and vitamins that I'm taking. I'm taking like 12 to 14 pills of these things that I mentioned per day.
3. I don't have vericose veins.
4. I like fresh air and the outdoors. I don't have digestive problems only when I drink milk as far as I know. I know also that taking a lot supplements or pills can irritate your digestive system.
5. I don't have hypertension my blood pressure is normal. I don't have suicidal thoughts I just get really nervous and anxious when the symptoms is my genitals are strong (in the right side).

You mentioned to take Sulphur 200C (how many pellets for the dose). Which homeopathic remedies should I try after, what potency, how many pellets and how many times per day? Thanks in advance for your help Pankaj
 
juan herrera last decade
+ Sulphur 200...5 pellets...on empty stomach in the morning.

Brush teeth, eat, drink only 45 minutes after taking the dose.

Just rinse your mouth with clean water before taking the dose ...immediately after getting up from the bed.

24 hours no other meds , supplements etc.

After 24 hours start with Pulsatilla 30 ...three times a day (five pellets).

+ from 4th day o fstarting Pulsatilla 30...make it twice a day.

+ during course of Pulsatilla...yo ucan take herb supllements etc ...but ...gap of atleast 1 hour between the med dose and whatever else you take.

+ Continue with alkaline water.

Pankaj Varma
Post feed back after a week.
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Thanks Pankaj,

Just wanted to let you know that for the last three days I have been taking clematis 12C five pellets twice a day and getting some relief but not completely and maybe not deep enough. The relief is for a few hours. What I mean in relief is that the symptons are less strong, the intensity is less. I just want to get completely healed. So you want me to stop this remedy (clematis)and give pulsatilla another chance (even though I haven't felt any relief when I have taking pulsatilla for this last year and the prior year) you think this time is the charm and is going to work on me. Sorry for so many questions but I wanted you to know. I just really want to get better each day and be healthy completely. I have gone through a lot. thanks.
 
juan herrera last decade
After the use of Sulphur...Puls should show results.

Furthermore...you have been taking lower potency of Puls.
Potency makes the difference.+

My next preference would be Rhododendron.

If...after ...3 days of use of Puls...you do not see any benefit..post feed back.

Will review again.

PANKAJ VARMA last decade
okay Doctor. I took Pulsatilla 30C early last year and the year before. I took pulsatilla 200C a couple of times back in 2008 but nothing happened. I have lots of faith and wanted to work. May God our guides us to the right remedy and potency. Just wanted you to know. thanks
 
juan herrera last decade
Hi Pankaj, I will get my homeopathic remedies today. Hopefully you read my last response where I mentioned that I had taken Pulsatilla 30C and 200C before and didn't really see results. I just wanted you to be aware of that. And confirm with you that I'm going take sulfur 200C tomorrow and Pulsatilla 30C the following day. I just want to get your okay after you read this response with the knowledge of my history with Pulsatilla. Please respond back with your confirmation to proceed with this. thanks and sorry for all my questions.
 
juan herrera last decade
Yes please go ahead.

Let me have feed back in 3 to 4 days after starting.

PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Hi Dr. Pankaj, I know you asked me to give you an update in 3 to 4 days after taking pulsatilla 30C. I just wanted to let you know that I took Sulfur 200C this morning and stopped all the supplements and herbs for today. Today, I feel discomfort, pain and tenderness the right epididymus and right vas deferens glands. I feel the pain deep and strong inside. I don't feel pain in the testicle (ball itself just the glands). I'm a nervous and anxious as to what going to happened with me in the remedies. The last 3 days I was taking clematis 12C and even though it didn't relieve the pain and brought it down. The relieve was not deep enough it was like covering it. I was looking at the emails that I sent my homeopathic Doctor last year. The last four remedies that I took last year with him were Spongia 30C for about 2 to 3 weeks didn't see any results, then Helpha Sulph 30C for a month didn't really see results (I was taking an antibiotic for this at the time along with the supplements even though the Urulogist didn't find a bacteria/infection in the urine but not all tests (western medicine)can detect the different bacterias. Then, I took pulsatilla 30C for five days and nothing happened after that he prescribed me lycop 12C for 10 days nothing happened at first but then the symptoms became more mild at the time I was also entering a relationship in which I started having intercourse with protection of course. After the 10 days the symptoms were very mild so he told me to take another round of lycop 12C the symptems remained very mild and after that I just started feeling better almost 98-99% and even 100% at times. That lasted for about 9 months (I was drinking alkaline too at the time and have continued). The symptoms started coming back this march after 9 months since then I tried lycop 12C for 2 weeks then lycop 30C for one week and nothing happened. And the last 3 days I was taking clematis 12C with some relief. What do you think about this? The pain and discomfort is really strong right now and it feels deep and also like if the epididymus gland was been squeeze and also feels tender inside. What do you think about all this? I'm also a Civil Engineer also. I really want you to help me with this pain and discomfort is intolerable Doctor. I want to get some relief please

The blood has started to circulate in a better way in that area...and has started to fight the disease..... there will be temporary discomfiture...called homeopathic aggravation.

After 24 hours you will begin to experience much relief...once the homeopathic aggravation subsides.

It means ..Sulphur has begun to work on you....so disease will be thwarted soon.

Pankaj Varma
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
This is my post made in 2003 regarding Homeopathic aggravation. Read below. I dug it out from the back pages of the Forum.

IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THIS !
From PANKAJ VARMA on 2003-07-26
49 replies 3264 views

If you are resorting to self medication in homeopathy it is good to know this.....

In homeopathy there is something termed as 'HOMEOPATHIC AGGRAVATION'.

Let me explain this: once you start the process of taking the medicine(s)you might notice some thing happening like a skin-rash appearing somewhere on the body or a sudden onset of cough, even it can be a slight fever or a headache. May be increase in the intensity of the itch etc. etc....this only means that the toxins are being forced to move out from their preferred hiding places.

Such aggravation may appear briefly and will die out on its own in a few hours to 2/3 days. Yet, such onset is a sure indication for a homeopath that the medicine is working.

The outlet for the toxins is the skin. Hence....appearance of a skin rash is significant. If the medicine is working , the rash will subside on its own.

(If the aggravation is severe, it is advisable to skip some doses of the medicine).

For this specific reason ....it is not advisable to take very high potencies of any medicine on your own .....such as 10M and higher, unless your knowledge of homeopathy is vast and honed over the years.
It would be difficult to control the reaction of the 'homeopathic aggravation' on your own in such circumstances.

Best,
PANKAJ VARMA

I would advise you not to anti-dote Sulphur....as it has started the cure process.

However, as a pre-caution, if the pain is severe and unbearable...drink some coffee to anti-dote.

If you can bear the pain...just go with it (it would subside in 24 hours, likely or lesser period)......as cure has started.

Hi Doctor just giving you an update yesterday afternoon I felt the pain and discomfort very strong but i came home from work and took a cold shower that relaxed me and the symptoms too I was able to go to sleep. When I woke up I felt the pain and discomfort not only my right epididymus gland or vas deferens but also on my left one both feel the pain deep in there like if someone was squeezing them or putting pressure there. I took pulsatilla 30C like you indicated and then took another cold shower which started lowering the symptons. Why did I feel the symptoms on the left side since I didn't have it there before? (like reflected symptoms with the exception of tenderness I only have that on the right side, is this part of the healing process of aggravetion?). All my other supplements saw palmetto, grape fruit seed extract, bioflavonoids, candisol,wheatgrass in powder form, probiotics I should start taking again correct Doctor I think you told me? My stomach has been feeling like bloated in the last week or so I think is part of the supplements that I'm taking maybe clematis brought this too. I started taking wheatgrass just 5 days ago. I'm drinking a lot of water alkaline. thanks.
 
juan herrera last decade
Pulsatilla will also reduce your stomach bloating.

Why pain on left side?
Ans: there will be some toxins there too..though level may not be high to come under the allopathic scanner.

Hold on with Saw palmetto for the time being as it can anti-dote Pulsatilla.

sorry for my late response but I went out to eat with my friends. I took a pill of saw palmetto (liquid form) before reading your reply (u said that it might anti-dote pulsatilla I hope it didn't what about Sulphur did it anti-dote sulfur too). Drinking teas is okay or not I like to drink a tea called Lindenflower Tea which relaxes me I just want to make sure that I don't antidote the homeopathy remedies. I lived in California in los Angeles California, in the United States. The weather here is very nice sunny most of the year. It rains very little and is only windy for a few days like a week to two in the entire year. Temperatures are in the 70s and 80s during the year and in the 90s in the summers (for 3 summer months). I hope you can reply back Pankaj today
 
juan herrera last decade
When I made the comment about the pain on the left side is because prior to this my only pain, discomfort and tenderness was on the right side in the epididymus gland, and vas deferens but last night I also started having pain and discomfort on the left side too I thought this was a reaction to the sulfur an aggrevation like you indicated. what do you think?
 
juan herrera last decade
Sulphur is a deep acting med...so I don't see chances of Sulphur being anti-doted.

However..for Pulsatilla..you have to be on guard with strong herbs.

Saw Palmetto works on the same area where you have the problems.

Infact, it is a herb for enlarged prostrate gland.

Tea is okay...but only 2 cups per day and not more.

Avoid..garlic, coffee, strong odours ( in hair spray, after shave, deodorants etc).

Our time zones have a difference of about 12 hours.
So, some times when you post a reply...I could be sleeping.

However, I normally check posts once in the morning and once at night.
