Patient's question:
My husband went to the hospital last week to have an undescended testicle treated, but later he noticed that his testicle seemed to be a bit off, so he went back to the hospital for a thorough examination and found out that his testicle had atrophied. I want to ask what should be done if the testicle atrophies and becomes purulent after the undescended testicle surgery?Doctor's answer:
The main reason for this situation is still due to the testicle experiencing brain edema and pus formation again. This still requires surgical treatment to directly remove the testicle because complete swelling may still lead to transmission. You must carefully ask the surgeon about how the testicle is completely swollen. If surgery is performed as soon as possible, it is essential to pay attention to maintaining hygiene in the groin area to prevent re-infection. At the same time, appropriate low-intensity physical exercise should be carried out to enhance physical fitness. It is also important to maintain a regular lifestyle, good dietary habits, and sleep schedules, and to minimize strong external impacts to avoid further worsening the patient's condition.
