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 on both sides of the scrotum? Sometimes, if the testicle moves to the inguinal region in children, this situation may occur again. The best approach is to take your child to the hospital to see a urologist for a check-up. A physical examination can usually help diagnose the issue, and if necessary, an ultrasound can be performed for a more detailed examination. For testicular patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, while also paying attention to personal hygiene.
