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 shower, 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 and avoid overtime work. It is better to maintain a regular sleep schedule, which helps in recovery. Rest well and keep the external genital area clean. Cold compresses can be applied to the affected area to promote inflammation resolution. Avoid sexual activity and intercourse until the condition heals. Do not consume spicy foods, alcohol, or tobacco. Regular follow-up examinations are necessary to prevent overexertion. For epididymitis patients, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and maintain a regular sexual life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
