Is it a testicular abscess nodule or testicular tuberculosis?

Patient's question:

Right testicular inflammation followed by unilateral testicular inflammation left a hard lump. Initially, it was 4.5 centimeters in size, but now it has reduced to 1 to 2 centimeters. It doesn't hurt when squeezed, and after treatment with heat applications, the hard lump has become slightly softer. I don't know what's going on, but the lump remains a lump, although its tail has become somewhat softer. Despite being thin, it forms a stark contrast with the hardness of the lump.
Treatment duration: 14 days.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the medical history and symptoms, it is possible that the nodules or hard lumps could be due to inflammation, scarring, or tuberculosis. However, the likelihood of the former is higher. In clinical practice, it is common for inflammation in the later stages to leave behind varying degrees of nodules or hard lumps. In this case, if there are no discomforts, it is recommended to visit a doctor at the hospital. This will also give you peace of mind. Wishing you good health!
