Patient's question:
Male, 17 years old, this situation has been going on for a while. He always feels like there is fluid accumulation in his testicles, and they are red and swollen. However, because it's a sensitive area, he feels uncomfortable going to the doctor. After doing some research, he suspects it might be testicular inflammation. He is asking: What should a young boy do if his testicles are swollen?Doctor's answer:
Enlargement of a child's testicles may be due to conditions such as orchitis, hydrocele, and inguinal hernia. If the fluid collection is significant, surgical treatment may be required. Generally, cysts are treated with aspiration. You can follow up with a urologist. If there is inflammation, active use of anti-infection treatment is necessary, and attention should be paid to the local area. There are many treatment methods for diseases, but because the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods adopted will also be different. Therefore, patients need to seek professional help as soon as possible for detailed testing to treat the condition accordingly.
