Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and the other side seems to be swollen as well. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me what foods are suitable for someone with orchitis?Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is an inflammation of the testicles caused by bacteria entering through the bloodstream, lymphatic system, or direct spread. The main symptoms include redness and swelling of the scrotal skin, swelling of the testicles, significant tenderness, pain radiating to the groin and perineum, a sensation of heaviness, and systemic symptoms such as high fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting during acute recurrence. If orchitis is not treated properly, it can lead to impaired sperm production, and downward spread can cause inflammation of other reproductive organs. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for follow-up treatment and take medication under the guidance of a doctor. Wishing you good health. Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medication appropriately during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible.
