Patient's question:
Testicular inflammation took a course of medication, but it didn't work. What's going on...? What should I pay attention to during the treatment of testicular inflammation?Doctor's answer:
1. Avoid fatigue; it is best to rest in bed. If you need to stand or walk, it is recommended to use a cloth support to hold the scrotum, preventing it from dangling, which can reduce pain and swelling.2. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to increase vitamin C intake, enhancing your immune system. Avoid foods like pig trotters, fish soup, and lamb, known as "trigger foods," to prevent exacerbating swelling in the affected area.
3. If there is significant swelling and pain in the testicles, local cold compresses can be applied. At least 1–2 sessions per day, each lasting about 30 minutes, may help. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
