Patient's question:
Sometimes the left testicle of a male feels like it's dropping down, with a swollen and painful groin. During episodes of discomfort, any exertion or running makes it feel looser. What is this condition?Doctor's answer:
It could be inguinal lymph node inflammation or a mild inguinal hernia, etc. A face-to-face examination is required for a thorough check and confirmation of the diagnosis. Avoid strenuous exercise, apply cold compresses to the affected area, and carefully observe how the symptoms decrease. Alternatively, go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive targeted treatment. For patients with testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated promptly, it may affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
