Patient's question:
There is a movable hard lump the size of a grain of rice in the scrotum, next to the testicles. I had to search for it for a long time to find it again, and it doesn't cause any sensation. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, infections in this area are usually caused by inflammatory tissues. Clinically, they are often seen in conditions such as nodules, tuberculosis, or orchitis. Due to the inability to conduct a face-to-face examination, your description is quite general, and I can only provide a general assessment.Additionally, the male reproductive organs serve as a passage. If inflammation occurs repeatedly over a long period, bacteria can easily spread retrogradely, affecting nearby organs and leading to complications such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, orchitis, or sexual dysfunction. This aspect requires attention.
Therefore, it is recommended that you seek medical examination and treatment at a hospital as soon as possible to prevent the disease from causing you further trouble.
