Patient's question:
A 20-month-old baby has had a fever recently and suddenly noticed that the right testicle has become very large and long. When lying down, two prominent bulges can be clearly seen. It was normal before. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
If the difference is significant, it should be considered whether the symptoms are caused by conditions such as hydrocele or hernia. Once the testicles show abnormalities, it directly affects a man's fertility, especially for infants, who should seek medical attention early for a thorough examination. Testicular conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on the results of a careful examination. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
