Patient's question:
After sitting for a few minutes, I felt a slight pain in the left testicle. In the morning, I also experienced some mild discomfort. Sometimes, I can feel a small, soft lump in the lower part of the left testicle, and it becomes slightly painful after touching it for a while. The area around the left testicle is not smooth, while the right one is smooth. It has been over a month now. What could be the issue, and what medication should I take?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should not be a major issue. The small lump under the testicle is likely a normal epididymal cyst. Since you've been hitting it back and forth, you might feel some discomfort. If you have epididymitis, you can take some anti-inflammatory medication orally, such as levofloxacin capsules. Based on your description, it seems unlikely that you have epididymitis.For testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
