Patient's question:
My testicles seem different from before, and reading seems to be about the same height. These past few days, I've been experiencing pain during sexual activity. The doctor said it's due to a mediastinum of the testis. What is the mediastinum of the testis?Doctor's answer:
Actually, the internal structure of the testes is tightly wrapped by a tough layer called the tunica albuginea, which serves to protect the testes. The tunica albuginea thickens and extends inward, dividing the testes into many small compartments. These partitions are called the mediastinum testis, and the compartments are called the lobules of the testes. Testicular conditions tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to immediately go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
