Patient's question:
I had a cold a while ago, so I thought the fever and chills were caused by the cold. But the fever didn't go down, and after checking at the hospital, the doctor said I had epididymitis. I don't know how I got this disease, but I would like to ask: What dietary precautions should be taken for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is primarily caused by bacterial infections, but it is never very serious. It usually requires the intake of antibiotics for treatment. The diet should be light-based, with a focus on eating vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, lean meat, etc. Fish, shrimp, and seafood can be consumed as long as there is no allergy, but it is best to avoid ginger, garlic, and chili peppers. Rest appropriately. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. I wish you a speedy recovery.
