Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing testicular pain and itching recently. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. Can a testicular ultrasound detect testicular cancer?Doctor's answer:
The testes are unique to males; they can secrete various male hormones to maintain male characteristics, and they can develop cancer, requiring special attention. Most cancers can be detected through ultrasound. Currently, cancer treatment is relatively challenging, primarily involving surgical removal, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy to slow the spread of cancer cells. For patients with male reproductive system diseases, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid overexertion, and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
