Patient's question:
The patient recently feels generally uncomfortable. What is the relationship between testicular torsion and inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
The testicles and hernias are not related. Hernias are also divided into many different types. An inguinal can descend into the scrotum, appearing as a reduction in one side of the scrotum, actually resembling testicular enlargement. In reality, it is caused by the intestines and omentum entering the scrotum. This can be diagnosed through a careful ultrasound examination. If the examination confirms it is a hernia, surgery is required to resolve it, otherwise it cannot be fully restored.
