Patient's question:
A few days ago, while taking a bath, I suddenly noticed a hard lump on my right testicle. What should I do? I'm usually quite hygienic and haven't been engaging in any reckless behavior. This issue has suddenly reappeared, and it's really hurting me emotionally. Due to embarrassment, I haven't gone to the hospital to see a doctor. So, I'd like to consult here and hope to get a prompt response.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, this is not an issue related to sexually transmitted diseases. The lumps on your testicles could be testicular cysts, epididymitis, or it's also possible that they are tumors. You should go to the urology department of a hospital to see a doctor for confirmation. Generally, the doctor will examine the area and then perform an ultrasound to get a detailed check, which should help confirm the diagnosis. These are relatively common issues, and doctors treat illnesses; there's no shame or embarrassment in seeking medical help.
