Patient's question:
I am an office white-collar worker. Throughout the day, I sit at my desk and am very busy, so I rarely get up to move around. Because of this, I was recently diagnosed with orchitis. Now, I am in constant pain every day and don't know what to do. Please ask: What should be noted when treating orchitis conservatively?Doctor's answer:
What should patients with orchitis pay attention to? If a man suffers from orchitis, especially after acute orchitis, he often experiences obvious symptoms such as fever, chills, nausea, and dry vomiting. During the illness, male patients should pay attention to avoiding excessive fatigue and resting in bed. Orchitis can easily cause swelling and pain in the scrotum, so when dressing, male patients should preferably use a cloth support to hold their scrotum and try to prevent it from dangling. It is important to eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and to eat less "heating foods" such as pig trotters, fish soup, and mutton, to avoid increasing secretions in the inflamed area, further spreading and worsening the orchitis and alleviating symptoms.
