Patient's question:
An 11-year-old child accidentally hit his testicles with a stick, causing the skin over the testicles to break and form red blood vessels, with swelling inside the testicles. What should be done urgently?Doctor's answer:
From your description, there is local redness, swelling, and skin breakdown, which suggests testicular trauma. It is important to visit the urology department of the hospital as soon as possible for follow-up treatment, including intravenous fluids, hospitalization, swelling reduction, and medication, to avoid interfering with future fertility. At the same time, it is necessary to educate the child to protect important organs and prevent accidents. The condition of testicular swelling tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to immediately seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
