Patient's question:
I recently feel a bit of pain in my epididymis, which I haven't experienced before. I also noticed that my epididymis is a bit swollen, which makes me quite concerned. So I searched online and found that it might be acute epididymitis, which requires early treatment. It also said that I need to avoid certain foods. Therefore, I'd like to consult now: what foods should I avoid with acute epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of acute orchitis, dietary restrictions are necessary. If dietary restrictions are not followed, it may lead to a worsening of symptoms. Consuming foods that cause stomach upset or spicy and irritating foods during the treatment period can exacerbate acute orchitis symptoms, leading to symptoms such as a heavy feeling in the scrotum, itching, pain, and warmth. During treatment, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, get adequate rest, and engage in appropriate activities.
