Patient's question:
I had a lump grow next to my right testicle and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. They said it was caused by epididymitis. I took medication for half a month, and then had an ultrasound which said I didn't need to take any more medicine because the lump had shrunk. I went home to rest, but in just two days, I noticed that the veins next to the lump seem to be getting thicker. Is it possible that the small bump next to my testicle is due to epididymitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is currently considered a normal condition after epididymitis. The area you are touching is not a blood vessel, but rather a structure in the groin that surrounds the vas deferens. Epididymitis can cause this area to become enlarged. Assuming it is a normal case, as the inflammation subsides, it will fully return to its normal thickness. I hope my explanation can be helpful to you, and wish you good health.Epididymitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to control sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
