Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, and I recently had a urological health check-up. It was found that I have early epididymitis. At that time, I also felt a bit uncomfortable in my private area but didn't pay attention. What should patients with epididymitis avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Got epididymitis, we should pay attention to regularizing our lifestyle, balancing work and rest, avoiding smoking, alcohol, and spicy or irritating foods. Maintain a regular routine, keep bowel movements smooth, avoid prolonged sitting, and do not overindulge in sexual activity. Nourish the spirit, always maintain a cheerful mood, avoid overexertion, strengthen the body, prevent colds, do not hold urine, and take good care of your health. Sitz baths can be beneficial: once per day, with water temperature controlled between 42℃ and 50℃, for 20 to 30 minutes each time. Always keep the area under the scrotum dry and clean, and wear breathable underwear in well-ventilated pouches.Epididymitis patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment alongside professional medical care while understanding the condition. In daily dietary habits, it is important to eat appropriately and avoid stimulating foods.
