Patient's question:
Sometimes the right testicle becomes very large, and you can feel something different compared to the left one. After lying down for a while, it returns to normal and is the same size as the left one. How can this be addressed?Doctor's answer:
It could be hydrocele of the testis or varicocele of the spermatic cord. In either case, you will need to go to the hospital for a few ultrasounds to thoroughly examine and assist in confirming the diagnosis. If the condition is severe, then it will be necessary to consider elective surgery for treatment. The testis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, the patient should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
