Patient's question:
I am 18 years old and there was a pimple on my testicular cells, so I used a silver needle to prick it and draw blood. The swelling has subsided, but I heard a "pop" sound. I'm not sure if it was the meridian or blood vessel that got pierced. If it was a capillary or the meridian that got pierced, is this situation urgent? Please let me know, doctor.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you mentioned there is vascular injury. If the blood vessels are damaged, they will be repaired immediately after the procedure, and a hematoma may form. You can pay attention to keeping the skin of the testicles and the back of the penis clean and sterile by using povidone-iodine once a day for cleaning and disinfection. Treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs such as levofloxacin is recommended, and you should closely monitor the condition for a week. The testicles can recover, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used appropriately during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
