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 the other side seems to be somewhat swollen as well. I'm very concerned. Could you please tell me what are the nursing measures for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Pay attention to mental health: Always maintain a cheerful mood, avoid overexertion, and engage in appropriate physical activities such as Qigong and Tai Chi to enhance physical fitness, prevent colds, and never hold in urine.2. Pay attention to dietary care: How should orchitis be managed? Maintain a stable dietary structure to avoid excessive intake of high-cholesterol foods. Encourage reducing the consumption of "red meat" (referring to meats like pork, beef, and lamb, which are high in cholesterol) and increasing the intake of "white meat" (referring to chicken and fish, which are lower in cholesterol). This has a certain significance in preventing the recurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
3. Pay attention to lifestyle care: Avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods and alcohol to eliminate the source of internal damp-heat.
