Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been experiencing testicular pain and itching recently. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. What dietary precautions should testicular cancer patients be aware of?Doctor's answer:
Testicular cancer patients should adhere to a diet that is nutritious, easy to digest, low in irritation, and low in fat. It is advisable to consume high-protein, high-carbohydrate foods. Additionally, foods that promote the softening of hard masses and the dredging of liver qi should be included. It is also important to avoid overeating, excessive alcohol consumption, drug abuse, and a high-fat diet. Foods that are difficult to digest, such as fatty meats, fish roe, brain, greasy, and fried foods, should be consumed in moderation or avoided. Spicy and irritating foods like garlic, ginger, onions, and chili peppers should be avoided, as well as smoking and drinking alcohol.
