Can testicular nodules be malignant?

After recovery from orchitis, calcium deposits are likely to form, which may lead to testicular nodules and lumps in the patient's testicles. However, many people do not know much about testicular nodules and do not know whether they will become cancerous. Therefore, we should pay enough attention to this situation.

For inflammatory testicular nodules, if the patient has no other clinical symptoms, we do not need to worry too much, because this situation will not affect the health of the body, so we do not need to carry out special treatment, just observe and follow up. But if the nodule is caused by other reasons, then we need to pay enough attention to it, and should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, and then take appropriate measures for treatment. We must not delay the disease because of our own negligence, otherwise it will not only cause the symptoms to worsen, but also may lead to cancer, which will have a serious impact on physical health.

Daily care for testicular nodules

In daily life, patients should pay close attention to their physical condition and go to the hospital for regular check-ups to avoid accidents as much as possible. In addition, patients should also take good care of their personal hygiene, especially keep it clean. They should wash the glans with clean water every day and change underwear frequently to avoid the growth of bacteria as much as possible, otherwise it will easily lead to urinary tract inflammation. Patients can usually apply hot compresses and massage the affected area, which can promote local blood circulation and improve metabolism, which is very helpful in promoting the disappearance of nodules and can effectively protect the patient's health.

Clinical manifestations of testicular tumor

1. Enlarged testicles

Most patients have varying degrees of testicular enlargement. Sometimes the testicles are completely replaced by tumors, with a hard texture and loss of normal elasticity. In the early stage, the surface is smooth, but in the late stage, it may be nodular and may adhere to the scrotum or even rupture. The scrotal skin may be dark red, and the surface often has tortuosity of blood vessels. If a tumor is occult, it is often felt in the abdomen, groin, etc., and the scrotum on the same side is empty. Some patients with testicular tumors also have hydrocele.

2. Pain

Most patients lose testicular sensation and feel no pain. Therefore, it is generally believed that the tumor is a painless scrotal mass. It is worth noting that acute painful testicular tumors can also be seen in clinical practice, but they are often considered to be inflammation. The cause of pain is bleeding or central necrosis in the tumor, or pain caused by the testicular tumor invading the tissue outside the testicle.

3. Metastatic symptoms

Testicular tumors mainly metastasize to lymph nodes, which are often found in the internal iliac, common iliac, para-aortic and diaphragmatic lymph nodes. The metastatic lesions can be very large and can be felt in the abdomen. Patients complain of waist and back pain. Patients with testicular villous carcinoma may experience breast hypertrophy and pigmentation of the nipple and areola.
