Patient's question:
Left testicle has been aching and swollen recently. Could you please help me understand what this condition might be? What are the contraindications for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis is primarily contraindicated with spicy and irritating foods; it is also not advisable to engage in activities that cause tremors or sudden movements, such as riding motorcycles. Additionally, it is important to avoid getting cold, including drinking cold water. It is recommended to take this disease seriously and undergo systematic treatment in a formal hospital to prevent any long-term complications, as this could otherwise affect fertility. Epididymitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment, use medication appropriately, and adopt a healthy lifestyle with proper diet. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
