Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing testicular pain and itching recently. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I have orchitis. What should patients with orchitis avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis should avoid drinking beer and eating spicy foods to eliminate the source of internal damp-heat. Coldness in the groin area, excessive sexual activity, and holding urine can easily lead to sympathetic nerve excitement, causing difficulty in urination, which should also be prevented. Some patients have a gradually enlarging BFH, and symptoms of uremia may reappear during follow-up visits. Therefore, elderly men experiencing urinary abnormalities need to be examined and treated. Encouraging a reduction in the consumption of red meat, such as pork, beef, and lamb, which are high in cholesterol, and increasing the intake of white meat like chicken and fish, which are lower in cholesterol, is beneficial for preventing the recurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
