What are the scrotum, testicles, epididymis, and spermatic cord?

Patient's question:

The hospital conducted a thorough examination with color Doppler ultrasound of the scrotum, testicles, epididymis, and spermatic cord, which showed normal results. However, why is the right testicle swollen and causing discomfort? The doctor also mentioned that a small lump can be felt, but it is unclear what it is. What is the situation? What are the scrotum, testicles, epididymis, and spermatic cord?

Doctor's answer:

Recurring cases should be considered for hernia. It is recommended to undergo ultrasound examination and careful palpation in general surgery. The treatment of the epididymis can be stabilized. However, the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, not smoke or drink beer, and engage in appropriate physical exercise.
