Patient's question:
There is a hard lump on the left testicle. I don't know when it appeared. Could you please ask the doctor how to treat a hard lump on the testicle effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hypothesis of the issue: If it appears on the surface of the scrotal skin, it might be an abscess. If it is on the testicular tissue, it could be inflammation, stones, tumors, etc. A face-to-face examination is necessary for a definitive diagnosis. Pay attention to hygiene of the affected area, avoid squeezing. If it is on the epidermis, local iodine sterilization can be performed, followed by applying an anti-inflammatory ointment and taking oral anti-inflammatory medication to control infection. If it is on the testicular tissue, go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to determine its nature before implementing targeted treatment. For patients with urological diseases, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
