Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent pain in my testicles for a while, along with referred pain in the scrotum, groin, and inner thigh area. My testicles are slightly swollen, and they hurt when touched or pressed. Later, when I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was orchitis. What is this condition, and how should I take care of it?Please ask: How should one take care of themselves when diagnosed with orchitis?
Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is a common disease among men, and severe orchitis may lead to male infertility. Therefore, to prevent the harm caused by orchitis, men need to actively seek treatment. During treatment, it is also important to pay attention to proper orchitis care. Quit bad habits such as smoking and drinking. Develop good living habits, avoid overexertion, and moderate nighttime activities.In daily care for orchitis, exercise regularly to boost the immune system. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
