Epididymitis Diet: What Should Epididymitis Patients Avoid? Is Garlic Allowed?

Epididymitis is an inflammatory disease of the male reproductive system, which causes great damage to the body. If a man has epididymitis without timely treatment, it will affect the physiological function of his epididymis.

In addition to swelling and pain, urination discomfort, epididymitis is also prone to cause sperm quality decline. A proper diet can help relieve the symptoms of epididymitis to a certain extent and can also help provide nutritional support, strengthen the immune system, and promote recovery.

So, are there any dietary taboos for epididymitis patients?

Avoid spicy food. Spicy foods may irritate the genitourinary system and cause inflammation to worsen. Therefore, spicy foods such as chili peppers and mustard should be avoided.

Avoid drinking alcohol. Drinking alcohol will stimulate the genitourinary system and cause inflammation to worsen. Drinking alcohol should be avoided not to affect the effect of diagnosis and treatment.

Avoid fatty meat and fried food. During the disease, the patient's spleen and stomach digestive function will have a certain impact after eating fat, sweet and fried foods that are not conducive to digestion and absorption. So fatty meat and fried foods need to be avoided.

It has recently been rumored on the Internet that people with epididymitis are advised not to eat garlic, or their condition will be easily aggravated. Is this statement correct? Let's come together and find out.

When it comes to garlic, apart from its pungent and stimulating flavor, what makes it memorable is its ability to be antiseptic and anti-inflammatory.

Garlic has a powerful antiseptic ability that destroys germs that invade the body. It also aids in absorbing vitamin B1, promotes the metabolism of sugars for energy production, and relieves fatigue. Another essential function of garlic is to boost the immune system, and its lead selenide has antioxidant properties.

Garlic also contains "allicin," a substance that is many times more beneficial to the brain than vitamin B. Therefore, patients with epididymitis can eat garlic, but because garlic has a certain degree of irritation, it can be appropriate to eat less.

In addition, we can refer to the following dietary suggestions to improve our diet and promote the recovery of epididymitis.

1. Eat more fish

Patients can choose to eat more fish, such as salmon, cod, salmon, and other fish. These fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, helping to reduce inflammation and promote recovery, which is very beneficial for patients with chronic epididymitis.

2. Eat more high-fiber foods

Patients can choose high-fiber foods such as oats, whole wheat bread, beans, vegetables, and fruits to relieve epididymitis symptoms. These foods have high fiber content and can promote intestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation, and maintain good intestinal function.

3. Drink more water

Maintain sufficient water intake is particularly important for patients with chronic epididymitis. Adequate water helps to dilute urine, reduce harmful substances in urine, reduce irritation, and alleviate inflammation and discomfort. It is recommended that patients drink sufficient water (at least 8 cups) every day and try to avoid excessive consumption of stimulating beverages such as coffee and alcohol.

In short, patients with epididymitis can reduce inflammation and improve immunity through dietary health care, which plays a certain auxiliary role in the recovery of the condition. However, to better treat epididymitis and prevent complications, men should know that treatment is still necessary, such as taking Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill. Patients can combine medication treatment with dietary health care to better promote the recovery of chronic epididymitis and return to a healthy life as soon as possible!
