Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I always feel like there's some fluid buildup in my testicles, and they are swollen and red. However, because it's that particular area, it's a bit embarrassing to see a doctor. I did some research and think it might be epididymitis. Could you please advise on what to eat to help with epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, epididymitis causes swelling and pain in the epididymis. Rest is recommended, and a urologist should be consulted for a thorough examination. Anti-inflammatory drugs should be used for observation. It is advised to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light diet, and consider medications such as levofloxacin, cephalosporin antibiotics, and Shu Biusong for observation. Regular follow-up with color Doppler ultrasound is necessary because epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals based on examination results. Additionally, smoking and alcohol consumption should be avoided, personal hygiene should be maintained, and a speedy recovery is wished for all patients.
