Patient's question:
Recently, while taking a bath, I noticed a small lump on my testicle. It feels hard and can be moved around. I'm not sure what it is, whether it could be a lymph node or something else. So, I'd like to consult about what to do in a situation like mine where a lump has appeared on the testicle.Doctor's answer:
When small bumps reappear on the testicles, the first step is to determine whether they are outside the scrotal skin or inside the vagina. The most common bumps inside the vagina are swollen inguinal lymph nodes or recurrence of severe testicular conditions, which can cause testicular swelling. First, it is clinically necessary to confirm the cause by performing a scrotal ultrasound. If the lymph node enlargement is caused by scrotal inflammation, it can be treated with oral antibiotics, such as penicillin or other similar medications, to implement anti-infection treatment.
