Patient's question:
During the treatment of orchitis, spicy foods should not be consumed. Can garlic be eaten? Is garlic a spicy food?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the benefits of garlic are to reduce immunity and have antioxidant effects. Allicin, the substance contained in garlic, is more beneficial to the brain than vitamin B by several times. Garlic has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, it is okay to eat garlic with orchitis, but avoid spicy food, beer, and overtime work. Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
