Patient's question:
10-year-old boy has a long, flat-shaped thing on the upper left side of his left testicle that doesn't hurt, but can't feel anything on the right side of his testicle. What could be the reason? Is it the epididymis that is felt on the left side of the testicle? Is it inflammation? Does it require treatment? What is it if it's slightly smaller than the testicle?Doctor's answer:
If the testicles are close to the area, pay attention to touch pain, which may be considered as epididymitis or varicocele. If there is obvious touch pain, it can be considered for a follow-up visit to the perinatal surgery department for a B to qualitatively assess the condition and degree. This can correspondingly confirm the issue and work together with blood tests and other qualitative treatment plans. For testicular patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence, and if not treated in time, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life to avoid spicy food.
