Patient's question:
I'm 24 years old this year. Recently, I just found a girlfriend. Because I really like her, we have been living together. A while ago, we had a lot of sexual activity. She said she wasn't feeling well, and this morning I noticed a small lump on my testicle. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
There are small bumps on the testicles. First, it needs to be diagnosed whether they are on the scrotal skin or inside the scrotum. If the bumps reappear on the scrotum, it is likely to be scrotal inflammation or an infection caused by poor hygiene. If small bumps appear on the testicles, when touched, small lumps are felt locally. It is recommended to go to the hospital for early diagnosis. The most common condition with bumps on the testicles is orchitis, testicular nodules, or testicular stones. Diseases such as testicular tumors need to be treated early to prevent further damage to the testicles or testicular atrophy.
