Patient's question:
10 days ago, I suddenly noticed a 1.5 cm lump on the lower side of my testicle. Ultrasound revealed a mass in the tail of the left epididymis, with no significant pain, low echo nodules, and rich blood flow signals. I feel a bit uncomfortable with the testicle on the same side and the inner groin area.Doctor's answer:
According to the described situation and the results of the tests. Currently, the possibility of a left epididymal mass is still being considered as relatively high. The test results can largely rule out malignant inflammation. If there are obvious local pain and discomfort symptoms, it is advisable to go to a regular hospital's urology department for surgical treatment. Alternatively, one can wait and see for a period of time and have regular ultrasound check-ups. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
