What should I do about a round, hard lump in the left testicle?

Patient's question:

On the left testicle, there is a round hard lump. It was originally small, but I feel it has grown. It has been there for six years, and I didn't pay attention to it. It doesn't hurt either. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is necessary to consider conditions such as epididymal tuberculosis, epididymal cysts, or inflammatory lesions of the testis. It is recommended to visit the urology department of the hospital for a follow-up examination, undergo tests such as color Doppler ultrasound of the testis and tuberculin skin test, to confirm the diagnosis. Only then can the next steps in treatment be considered. Do not miss the opportunity to address the condition. For patients with testicular issues, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If treatment is delayed, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
