Scientific Diet for Testicular Cancer

In fact, we all know that many diseases are related to what we eat. Now many men suffer from testicular cancer, but they still don’t know how to pay attention to their diet, and their lives are very stressful. So, today let’s learn about the scientific diet for testicular cancer.

Let’s first understand the symptoms of testicular cancer:

The early symptoms of testicular tumors are not obvious. The typical clinical manifestation is a gradually enlarging painless mass. Half of the patients often feel that the testicles are heavy, and sometimes feel a pulling sensation in the scrotum, lower abdomen, or groin. This is obvious when jumping or running. After standing for too long or being tired, local symptoms will worsen with a feeling of falling or mild pain. When there is an accidental collision or squeezing, the pain will be aggravated. Some patients often have symptoms similar to acute orchitis or epididymitis. After anti-inflammatory treatment, although the inflammation has been controlled, there is a mass that does not disappear. At this time, you should be alert to the possibility of testicular tumors.

What is the best diet for testicular cancer?

1. Patients should keep their diet light and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in fiber and vitamins, such as bananas, sweet potatoes, celery, etc., and eat more protein-rich eggs, milk, beans, fish, etc. to help repair tissue mucosa, improve the body's anti-inflammatory ability, and keep bowel movements smooth.

2. Foods such as watermelon, wax gourd, red bean or mung bean soup have the effects of clearing heat, promoting dampness and detoxifying for patients. Therefore, patients can eat them regularly to help recover from the disease.

3. Patients should also pay attention to eating more foods rich in zinc, which can help improve sperm quality and prevent the problem of sperm quality decline caused by orchitis. Zinc is most abundant in apples and various green vegetables.

In addition to eating more foods with auxiliary therapeutic effects, patients with orchitis should also quit smoking and drinking to help reduce local congestion and irritation, eat less or no high-fat and high-cholesterol foods. In particular, eating less "red meat", such as pork, beef, lamb and other meats with high cholesterol, is very helpful for the health of the reproductive system.
