Patient's question:
My testicles hurt a little, but my colleague said it's good to apply cold compresses. How is it to apply cold compresses to the testicles?Doctor's answer:
Applying cold compresses to the testicles can be effective in certain situations for treatment. Testicular pain is often caused by orchitis. Pay close attention to maintaining good hygiene in the affected area. In terms of diet, it's advisable to consume more foods that tonify the kidneys and boost Yang to aid in nourishment and digestion. Appropriate oral anti-inflammatory medication can also be taken for treatment. However, it's best to revisit the urology department of a hospital for a thorough examination to assess the severity of the condition and determine if treatment is necessary.
