Testicular lipoma is a bit painful

Testicular lipoma usually does not cause pain. If pain occurs, it may be related to secondary infection, tumor compression, or combination with other lesions. Testicular lipoma is a benign tumor mainly formed by abnormal proliferation of fat cells and is commonly found in the subcutaneous tissue of the scrotum. If the pain persists or worsens, you need to be alert to diseases such as orchitis, varicocele, or testicular torsion, and it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.

Most testicular lipomas are small and slow-growing, and the patient may only feel a painless lump. Pain may be caused by local friction, trauma, or strenuous exercise, resulting in congestion and edema of the tissue surrounding the tumor. You should avoid wearing tight underwear on a daily basis and reduce oppressive behaviors such as sitting for long periods of time and riding bicycles. If there are symptoms of infection such as redness, swelling, heat and pain, antibiotics such as cefaclor dispersible tablets and levofloxacin tablets can be used as directed by the doctor to control inflammation.

In rare cases, pain may indicate malignant transformation of lipoma or combined malignant tumors, such as liposarcoma or testicular cancer. When a mass rapidly increases in size, hardens in texture, or causes pain at night in a short period of time, the nature of the mass needs to be clarified through ultrasound examination or pathological biopsy. For lipomas exceeding 3 cm in diameter or affecting normal life, surgical resection, such as scrotal lipoma removal or spermatic lipoma resection under a microscope, may be considered. The wound needs to be kept clean and dry after surgery and reviewed regularly to rule out recurrence.

You need to pay attention to the changes in the lumps every day, and check the shape and texture of the testicles by yourself every month. Avoid scratching or squeezing the affected area excessively, and clean it gently with warm water when bathing. The diet should control the intake of high-fat foods and appropriately supplement vitamin E and selenium. If the pain is accompanied by fever, hematuria, or a bloating feeling in the lower abdomen, you should seek immediate medical attention from a urology department or andrology department.
