Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I always feel like there's fluid accumulation in the testicles, and they are swollen and red. However, because it's a sensitive area, it's a bit embarrassing to see a doctor. I did some research and think it might be testicular inflammation. Could you please tell me: How can testicular inflammation be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
1. Avoid fatigue, and it is best to rest in bed. If you need to stand and move around, it is recommended to use a cloth support to hold the scrotum, preventing it from dangling, which can reduce pain and swelling.2. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to increase vitamin C intake, enhancing the immune system. Avoid foods like pig trotters, fish soup, and lamb, which are considered "trigger foods," to prevent exacerbating swelling in the affected area.
3. If there is significant swelling and pain in the testicles, local cold compresses can be applied at least 1–2 times a day, each lasting about 30 minutes. Testicular inflammation tends to recur, so long-term medication is often necessary. For male patients, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination.
