Patient's question:
I have something on my scrotum that looks like a monkey, it's a bit painful, like a pricking pain. Doctor, what is it?Doctor's answer:
Consider left inguinal hernia or hydrocele. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital's pediatric surgery department for a follow-up examination. An ultrasound can be performed for a detailed check to diagnose whether it is an inguinal hernia or hydrocele. If necessary, surgery can be considered. For patients with testicles, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
