Patient's question:
There is a lump that can be felt when pinching above the right testicle. There's nothing particularly unusual otherwise. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If the lump feels painless when touched, it is likely to be the epididymis. The epididymis connects to the seminiferous tubules of the testis (Testis) on its second side. When sperm returns to the testis, it goes to the epididymis to grow and mature. The epididymis is located at the upper end and posterior margin of the testis. The epididymal duct is about 4-5 meters long and coils to form the body and tail. It helps in the maturation of sperm. For patients with testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If treatment is not timely, it will affect the condition of the body. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
