Patient's question:
I have had a persistent high fever, and I'm especially afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with acute orchitis. Please ask: What foods should I avoid with orchitis, and how should I handle it?Doctor's answer:
Attention:1. Quit smoking, drinking alcohol, and stimulant beverages like coffee.
2. Eat less "healing foods" such as pig trotters, fish soup, and lamb to avoid exacerbating secretions in the inflamed area, further spreading orchitis, and delaying symptom relief.
3. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as onions, peppers, chili peppers, cloves, mustard greens, and fennel.
Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical treatment, undergo thorough examinations, and then consider treatment based on the results. Additionally, refrain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
