Prevention of acute orchitis can be approached from the following aspects:
1. Maintain good hygiene: Regularly clean the external genital area and keep it dry and clean to reduce bacterial growth.
2. Avoid unhygienic sexual practices: Maintain a stable sexual relationship with a faithful partner and avoid sexual contact with individuals who have sexually transmitted infections to reduce the risk of infection.
3. Maintain a healthy diet: Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to increase vitamin C intake, avoid spicy, pungent, or pro-inflammatory foods, and maintain a balanced diet.
4. Pay attention to daily habits: Avoid prolonged sitting, engage in appropriate physical exercise to promote local blood circulation, and avoid excessive fatigue and exposure to extreme cold to enhance overall immunity.
5. Seek timely medical care: If symptoms such as swelling or pain in the testicles occur, seek prompt medical evaluation to prevent worsening of the condition.
