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, and now I suffer every day without knowing what to do. Please ask: What can orchitis patients eat?Doctor's answer:
What foods are beneficial for orchitis? It is important to consume sufficient amounts of high-quality protein and appropriately digestible foods rich in protein and amino acids, which support the coordination of endocrine functions and the maintenance of sperm production. High-quality protein sources include pig kidneys, eels, shrimp, soy and its products, lean meat, eggs, quail meat and eggs, etc. Trace elements also play a significant role in sperm production, such as zinc. Foods high in zinc include millet, corn, sweet potatoes, soy, pumpkin, scallions, lemons, and seafood like oysters, which should be appropriately included in the diet. Manganese has a special effect on sperm production, and a deficiency in manganese can lead to testicular atrophy in men. Foods rich in manganese include soy, green beans, beets, raisins, wheat, rye, buckwheat, and barley.
