Patient's question:
On the lower part of the right testicle, there's a round lump, which is the area I circled. It feels round and hard, about 1 cm in diameter. It's very hard to the touch, and there's no pain or discomfort. What could this be? What department should I see?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is considered to be testitis or epididymitis, which may be caused by frequent sexual intercourse or related to long-term chronic inflammation stimulation. If not treated promptly, it may affect future sexual function and fertility. It is recommended to wear loose cotton underwear, abstain from sexual intercourse, avoid watching sexually stimulating media, maintain a light diet, and quit smoking and drinking. For testicular patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
