Patient's question:
A lump has grown on the right testicular ball, like a meat bun. It's been about a year, and last month I felt a bit uncomfortable, but it got better. Now it's starting to bother me again. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
The consideration is epididymitis, which is commonly caused by bacterial infections. The recurrence of local swelling and pain symptoms requires a healing process, during which rest and attention to hygiene are necessary. Warm compresses can be applied locally, and anti-inflammatory medication such as levofloxacin can be taken to treat the infection. If symptoms do not improve after 3 days of treatment, it is recommended to visit a formal hospital's urology department for a color Doppler ultrasound examination and targeted treatment, which will help with healing. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at a professional and formal hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to refrain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
