Patient's question:
A lump was felt in the left testicle. It felt a bit uncomfortable when touched, but there was no change in appearance and no swelling. Just when the lump was felt, it was a bit uncomfortable. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Initial consideration is that it may be an epididymal cyst or nodule. It is recommended to revisit the urology department of a public hospital for a health check-up and related tests to confirm the diagnosis. If it is an epididymal cyst, surgical treatment may be required. Nodules are generally inflammatory nodules and should be treated with anti-inflammatory measures. The testicle can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, take medication appropriately, and during the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a proper diet.
