Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt some pain. I woke up earlier and seemed to have a fever, which got worse in the afternoon. I'm really worried. Please ask: What should I eat for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, orchitis is often caused by prolonged standing, excessive overexertion, or local injuries, leading to localized aseptic inflammation, which may result in swelling and pain in the affected area. In such cases, it is important to first prevent overexertion and maintain a balance between work and rest. Local cold compresses should be applied in conjunction with oral medications such as blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving capsules, as well as ciprofloxacin tablets for treatment. Orchitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek professional and reputable medical attention immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
