Patient's question:
Today, while the child was taking a bath, it was noticed that the testicles on both sides were of different sizes. The skin of one scrotum was slightly hard, and there was no obvious feeling of fluid accumulation. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
First, gently press on this testicle a few times. Is there a hard lump in both scrotums? Sometimes, if the testicle moves to the inguinal region in children, this situation may reappear. The best approach is to take your child to the hospital and have a urologist examine it. Touching the area can usually help diagnose the issue, and if necessary, an ultrasound can be performed for a more detailed check. For testicular patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
