Patient's question:
There is a small ball on the upper right testicle, which feels soft and is the size of a soybean. It hurts a bit when you squeeze it slightly. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
What you feel may be the head of the epididymis. The epididymis is attached to the testis, and it can be felt when touched. If you press hard, there will be some pain. What you are touching should be the head of the epididymis. Since I cannot physically touch it, this is only a preliminary judgment. If you are not too reassured, I suggest you undergo a color ultrasound examination for a clear diagnosis. Testicular conditions are prone to recurrence, and long-term medication intake is necessary. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and regular hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination.
