Patient's question:
Inside the scrotum, besides the two testicles, there is a group of soft, non-tubular structures that seem connected to the testicles. Is this a normal phenomenon? I haven't paid much attention to it before, and I'm very worried it might be a disease.Doctor's answer:
If, in addition to the testicles, other tissues can be palpated in the scrotum, it may indicate conditions such as varicocele, hydrocele, or hernia. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital's urology department for a follow-up examination and undergo tests such as color Doppler ultrasound to carefully observe the condition of the scrotum. After diagnosis, appropriate treatment measures should be taken. The testicles can recover, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
