Patient's question:
On the left testicle, there is a soft lump the size of a millet grain. It doesn't hurt when touched, but sometimes it aches slightly. The pain started over a month ago, and there was a two-week period when it didn't hurt at all. Now it's flaring up again, and it's very painful. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
First, it should be considered whether it is epididymitis on the left side or an epididymal cyst. A careful examination by color Doppler ultrasound is necessary for diagnosis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant tests to confirm the diagnosis, and then treat according to the test results. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink alcohol.
