Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen with a dull ache. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and it's particularly intense. It seems the other side is also somewhat swollen. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me what the best treatment methods are for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Be mindful not to eat spicy or irritating foods, avoid smoking or drinking beer, do not stand or sit for long periods, do not have excessive sexual activity, and do not engage in frequent sexual intercourse.2. Eat less foods known as "allergic foods" such as pig trotters, fish soup, and mutton to prevent increased secretion from the inflamed area, further spreading of orchitis, and worsening of symptoms. For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
