Patient's question:
A lump is present above the spermatic cord at the groin, which has been there for ten years. Initially, it was only the size of a thumb, but now it has grown to nearly the size of an egg. However, it doesn't cause any pain. What could this be?Additional information: The lump is immobile, and when pressed, it feels slightly full, but the pain is not obvious. It grows at a slow pace.
Doctor's answer:
Is it active! Will it hurt when pressed! How is the growth rate!Pain in the spermatic vein may be caused by inflammation of the spermatic cord. Rest and avoid local compression or injury. Urological examination is necessary to confirm, and color Doppler ultrasound may be required. Anti-inflammatory drugs should be used. It is recommended to have a light diet, strengthen nutrition, rest, avoid strenuous exercise, and apply heat or physical therapy. A formal urological examination in a hospital is recommended to determine if the inflammation of the spermatic cord is the cause.
It is recommended to undergo a biopsy at a formal hospital!
