Patient's question:
Over the past couple of days, I've noticed a small thumbnail-sized hard lump on the side of my left testicle. There's noticeable pain on the left side. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
There is a small, thumbnail-sized lump in the testicle, causing pain and discomfort. It is likely caused by inflammation, such as folliculitis or an infected sebaceous cyst. It is recommended that you pay attention to maintaining good hygiene in the external genital area and avoid spicy foods. Apply a topical treatment to the lump and seek medical attention at the urology department if it does not disappear or improve. This will allow the doctor to examine the lump's specific condition and provide appropriate treatment. I wish you a speedy recovery.Testicles can recover, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medication appropriately.
