Patient's question:
Started masturbating in middle school, and it's been 10 years now. I don't know when it started, but sitting on my left testicle for a long time, especially on a hard chair or sleeping sideways, makes it uncomfortable. It feels slightly swollen, and when I press the tip of the testicle, there's a tingling pain. I can also feel a small soft lump, which disperses when I squeeze it. The main issue is that my left spermatic cord is much thicker than the right.Additionally, I often have difficulty passing bowel movements. Sometimes, when I strain during a bowel movement, my testicle is lifted and swells. This problem has existed since I was very young, and I was told that I might have had an inguinal hernia back then. I've searched online and found that it's highly likely to be chronic epididymitis. If that's the case, can it still be treated? I'm very worried about it affecting...
