Patient's question:
For a while, I didn't pay attention, but recently I've noticed that one testicle is larger than the other. The larger one feels a bit hard. After ejaculation, a hard lump, about the size of a peanut, appears on the larger side again. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
If there is a case of balanitis, it is generally necessary to treat it early with medication tailored to the specific type of pathogen causing the infection. Pay attention to personal hygiene and sexual hygiene during this time to prevent cross-infection from recurring. If necessary, it is recommended to undergo a testicular ultrasound examination to check for any other perinatal-related issues. For patients with testicular swelling, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely and appropriate treatment, and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
