What is the hard ball connected to the testicles?

Patient's question:

I have a hard, round ball attached to my left testicle. It hurts when I squeeze it. It has grown in the past few days. A few days ago, it was just hard without ejaculation, then I had lower abdominal pain, and later, there was a hard, round ball. How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Recurring symptoms you mentioned will not cause swelling and pain without ejaculation. It should be considered as a reflex pain caused by prolonged erection. Currently, it is recommended to use warm compresses on the affected area. If the symptoms of swelling and pain subside, there is no need to worry. If necessary, an ultrasound examination can be performed. The testicles can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and the patient should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene.
