Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a cold, so I thought the fever and chills were caused by the cold. But the fever didn't go down, and when I went to the hospital, the doctor said I had orchitis. I don't know how I got this condition, but during orchitis, what should I eat?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is a common condition in urology, but if it is not treated promptly and appropriately, it can interfere with sexual function and fertility. Patients with orchitis should rest appropriately and receive antibiotics and general analgesics. Local measures such as cold compresses, physical therapy, and the use of scrotal supports can be effective. If an abscess forms, it may require drainage through incision. Orchitis is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment and follow their doctor's recommendations for appropriate treatment. Additionally, dietary issues should be addressed, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition. The above information is hoped to be helpful to you. Thank you.
