Patient's question:
Recently, I've always felt pain in my testicles, and this week alone I've had a fever 35 times. Usually, I feel cold, and when I take a bath, I touch my testicles and feel like there's a lot of liquid inside. Please ask: How should patients with epididymitis pay attention to their diet?Doctor's answer:
During the period of epididymitis, it is important to rest, preferably without overtime work. Maintain a regular sleep schedule, which will help in recovery. Rest well, keep the external genital area clean, and apply cold compresses to the affected area to promote inflammation resolution. Avoid sexual activity and intercourse until the condition heals. Do not consume spicy foods, quit smoking and alcohol, and have regular follow-up check-ups to prevent overexertion. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and maintain a regular sexual life in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
