For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen with a dull ache. Recently, they've started to hurt more, especially when touched, and the other side seems to be swollen as well. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me what is the best treatment for epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to food hygiene and cleanliness. Wash underwear frequently. Be mindful of not adding too much salt, MSG, or other seasonings in your diet, and opt for a light taste.
