Patient's question:
Now every day I feel severe pain in my testicles, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really troubled now. Please ask: What are the nursing precautions for orchitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Avoid fatigue, rest in bed as much as possible. If you need to stand or walk, it is better to use cloth straps to support the scrotum to prevent it from dangling, which can reduce pain and swelling.2. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to increase vitamin C intake and enhance disease resistance. Avoid foods like pig trotters, fish soup, and mutton, known as "trigger foods," to prevent exacerbation of inflammation and edema in the affected area.
3. If there is significant swelling and pain in the testicular area, local cold compresses can be applied at least 1–2 times a day, each lasting about 30 minutes. This may help alleviate orchitis, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after recovery.
