Patient's question:
The old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in my place asked me a few questions about the situation. Without a thorough examination, he said I had orchitis and didn't know if I should go to the hospital for further testing.Doctor's answer:
Testicular inflammation is usually caused by bacteria and viruses and can be preliminarily diagnosed based on clinical symptoms. It is recommended to visit the urology department of a hospital for follow-up, undergo tests such as color Doppler ultrasound of the testicles, and take precautions: avoid spicy and irritating foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and increase the intake of vitamin C and other nutrients; drink plenty of water; pay attention to personal hygiene. The condition of testicular inflammation tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment in professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on test results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
