Patient's question:
On the right testicle, there is a hard lump about 1 cm in size, resembling a newly formed pearl.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is possible that it is epididymal tuberculosis or inflammation. Epididymal tuberculosis is also known as tuberculous epididymitis, which is the most common form of male genital tract tuberculosis. It is generally believed that epididymal tuberculosis is part of urinary tract tuberculosis; epididymal tuberculosis is often accompanied by prostatic tuberculosis or seminal vesicle tuberculosis. Tuberculosis bacteria usually spread from the kidney to the prostate and seminal vesicle, and then to the epididymis; some are caused by hematogenous infection. The main sequelae of epididymal tuberculosis are incomplete or complete obstruction of the epididymal duct and proximal vas deferens, which can manifest as oligospermia or azoospermia, leading to infertility. It is recommended that you go to a regular and professional hospital for examination in a timely manner to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
