Patient's question:
Left testicle has been aching and swollen recently. Could you please help me understand what this might be? How should the diet be configured for orchitis treatment?Doctor's answer:
Currently treating epididymitis, there is no completely curative medication for it in China. The best approach is the dietary configuration therapy for epididymitis. Epididymitis is often caused by pathogens such as E. coli, staphylococcus, or streptococcus entering the epididymis through the vas deferens in reverse. Therefore, this condition is often secondary to posterior urethritis, prostatitis, or seminal vesiculitis, or it may recur after urethral instrumentation, leading to infection through the reverse pathway. Acute cases primarily manifest as redness, swelling, and pain in the epididymis and testis. It is recommended that you seek medical treatment promptly.
