Patient's question:
I am a high school teacher. This morning, one of the boys in my class didn't look very well, and his face was particularly red. After visiting the school clinic, we found out it was testicular torsion. Later, he went to the hospital, where the doctor immediately performed a small surgery. Now, I need to take care of him first. I'm not sure what I should pay attention to.I hope to get help: What are the precautions for testicular torsion?
Doctor's answer:
1. Carefully observe the condition. Testicular torsion changes rapidly, so after the surgery, it is important to closely monitor the incision for any signs of local bleeding or hematoma. If any abnormal symptoms occur, communicate with the doctor as soon as possible.2. Adjust the diet. After undergoing testicular torsion surgery, men should consume more fresh vegetables and fruits to enhance the intake of nutrients like vitamin C, which can help reduce the body's inflammatory response. Additionally, they should eat light and avoid spicy or irritating foods to prevent inflammation from spreading and promote full recovery.
