Is it important if the baby's testicles have a red mark in the middle?

Patient's question:

Is it urgent if a 2-year-old baby has a red mark in the middle of his testicles from a bump? He cried for a while when he got bumped, but fell asleep after watching some TV. Is it urgent?

Doctor's answer:

Consider multiple factors related to the inflammatory response that may lead to this manifestation. It is recommended that you seek a thorough examination at a professional children's hospital to determine whether the exfoliated cells indicate a bacterial or fungal infection. This will enable targeted medication. For patients with testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
