Patient's question:
Inner thigh, next to the testicles, that spot on the thigh. There's a lump. It's inside the skin, very hard, and a bit painful when pressed. It feels like a hard muscle mass in that area. Elliptical. Then, there's no interference normally, just a bit painful when pressed, but not too painful, just a mild ache. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The surrounding area of the lump may have redness and swelling, and there are two possibilities: one is lymph nodes, and the other requires a B examination for a detailed check. If it is lymph nodes, a blood test should be conducted to check for infection around the lump. If infection is present, it should be treated with antibiotics. The condition of the testicles is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. Additionally, male patients should seek medical attention promptly at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should also be noted.
