Patient's question:
Hello, I have testicular pain and a sensation of heaviness. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have epididymitis. What dietary precautions should patients with epididymitis take?Doctor's answer:
Chronic epididymitis patients indeed need to avoid certain foods for the recovery of their condition. The following foods should be used with caution:1. Avoid spicy, irritating, and extremely cold foods. For example: onions, peppers, chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, mustard greens, and fennel.
2. Limit the intake of foods known as "trigger foods," such as pig trotters, fish soup, and mutton, to prevent increased secretion in the inflamed area, further spreading and worsening of chronic epididymitis.
3. Quit smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming stimulant beverages like coffee.
Chronic epididymitis patients should pay attention when consuming these foods. While maintaining good lifestyle habits is important, the most crucial step is to actively seek treatment to the disease.
