The testicles feel hard

Because the testicles are also an important part of the male reproductive organs, male friends should also pay attention to their testicular health. For normal men, their testicles should feel elastic. Only when men are in an erection will the testicles gradually become hard. However, if the testicles are too soft, it also indicates that there is a problem with the testicles. If the testicles feel very hard, what disease does it indicate?

About testicles: Normal testicles are hard but have a certain degree of elasticity. If they are hard but without elasticity, the possibility of tumor or fibrosis should be considered. If they are too soft, it means that the internal tissue may be damaged and sexual function may be affected.

As for "I have found my testicles hard in recent days", it is recommended that you first follow the steps below to check yourself. If it is indeed abnormal, you should go to a regular hospital for a check-up in time to be on the safe side.

The correct method of testicular self-examination is as follows:

1. Perform a self-examination once a month, preferably during or after bathing, when the scrotum is more relaxed.

2. Under normal circumstances, hold up the scrotum with your palm and use your fingers to check. First, you need to understand the approximate weight and size of your testicles. Normally, one testicle is slightly larger than the other and hangs slightly lower.

3. Use your fingers to gently rub the testicles to make them roll. Each testicle has a soft tube called the epididymis at the top and bottom. This is not abnormally enlarged. If there is no lump or swelling, the testicles are smooth and firm.

4. If the two testicles are significantly different in size or weight, be alert.

If one testicle is enlarged and prominent, and the shape is often uneven; or a pea-sized lump can be felt in front or on the side of the testicle; or the testicle becomes hard. If the testicle becomes harder than before, like a stone, but there is no pain when pressing, you should see a doctor immediately.
