Patient's question:
My son is six years old. Since he was born, I felt that he was quite normal in all aspects, and his growth and development have been quite normal as he grew up. However, this spring, I noticed that one of my son's testicles is larger than the other, and the difference is becoming more noticeable as he grows. What could be the reason for one of my son's testicles being larger than the other?Doctor's answer:
The current symptoms of your son need to be ruled out, as there is a possibility of recurrent orchitis or a manifestation of recurrent inguinal hernia. It is recommended to promptly visit the hospital for a detailed scrotal ultrasound examination. If recurrent orchitis occurs, oral anti-inflammatory medication should be administered for treatment. If a recurrent inguinal hernia is detected, surgical intervention should be considered. Prevent the child from crying again and avoid consuming extremely cold or irritating foods.
