Patient's question:
I am taking traditional Chinese medicine for testicular growth and development. The doctor said it's okay to eat spicy food, but I have eaten a lot of chili peppers these past two days. Will it affect the efficacy of the medicine?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you are currently taking traditional Chinese medicine. It is best not to eat spicy and irritating foods to prevent any adverse drug reactions. I suggest: avoid spicy foods during the course of taking traditional Chinese medicine to prevent recurrence of drug reactions, pay attention to rest, and eat more vegetables and fruits. For patients with testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
