Patient's question:
While taking a bath, I accidentally noticed a small lump below my testicle. So, I wanted to ask you what I should do. What could be the reasons for this lump? Are there any effective methods to remove this lump? Do I need surgery?Doctor's answer:
If you develop another hard lump under your testicles again, but without pain or other uncomfortable symptoms, this could be a case of localized benign fibrosis, which may not require treatment. However, if the localized lump also reappears with redness, it could be caused by a syphilis infection leading to a chancre. It is best to go to the hospital for a syphilis serology test to confirm the diagnosis. If it is syphilis, it can be treated with intramuscular penicillin injections. Please follow your doctor's advice on medication.
