Patient's question:
At nine o'clock tonight, my left testicle started to hurt a little. I touched it a few times and felt like it was covered by something. What could be the problem? I'm training alone outside, and it's really making me anxious. Could you please give me some advice on what I should do?Doctor's answer:
Is it epididymitis or hydrocele? It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up. If it's hard and painful, it's likely inflammation. If it feels cystic and the transillumination test is positive, it indicates hydrocele, and the testicle can be stable. However, the treatment period is usually long, and it's prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it's crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
