Patient's question:
Now every day I feel very painful testicles, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really troubled now. Please ask: What should be noted in the care of orchitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Avoid fatigue, rest in bed as much as possible. If you need to stand or walk, it's 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 "irritating foods," to prevent exacerbating swelling 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 usually slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after recovery.
