Scrotal growth with a lump

Men's scrotum is more sensitive. When male diseases occur, the symptoms are usually mainly manifested in the scrotum. The growth of lumps in the scrotum is the most common symptom. Some patients have no pain in the scrotum lumps, which are not likely to cause significant impact on the patients. However, some patients have more severe pain in the scrotum lumps. So what is the reason for the growth of lumps in the scrotum?

If you feel a lump inside the scrotum when you touch it, the possible causes are:

1. Acute epididymitis with epididymal nodules can be caused by bacterial infection, which can lead to swelling of the epididymal cyst, followed by chemofibroblast scar repair during the healing process, resulting in epididymal nodules. When touched, a hard lump can be felt below or behind the testicles, which is sometimes closely attached to the testicles, with unclear boundaries. Acute symptoms may include pain. Chronic and scarring stages generally do not have significant pain symptoms, which can be identified by B-ultrasound examination.

2. Epididymal tuberculosis. Epididymal nodules may also appear. When you touch it, you can feel a hard mass with a string-like appearance. The surface is smooth and sometimes closely adheres to the skin of the scrotum. It is often secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis. Tuberculin test, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and tuberculosis antibody test can be used for diagnosis.

3. Male testicular tumors, the male testicles become hard or lumps appear in the male testicles. There may be no obvious symptoms in the early stage, but pain and swelling may occur in the middle and late stages. Male testicular B-ultrasound examination can be used to identify.

How to treat a hard lump on the scrotum

1. Check B-ultrasound

When a lump appears in the scrotum, the first thing to do is to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination. The B-ultrasound can clearly identify the cause of the lump, so that the doctor can carry out targeted treatment based on the cause. If the cause is not identified first, there is no way to immediately start medication or surgery.

2. Medication

After the cause of the disease is determined, the medicine to be used can be selected according to the symptoms. If it is caused by inflammation, levofloxacin can be taken orally, and antibiotics can also be injected intravenously. Anti-infection treatment can be selected for cysts, but if it is a mass, it can only be treated surgically.

3. Surgery

Surgery is a more decisive treatment method, which is to remove the lump immediately. However, this method causes great trauma to the patient's body and may cause postoperative side effects, so it is generally not easy to apply.
