According to information from the hospital, the patient fell while trying to "save the ball" and hit the scrotum hard. At first, he only felt mild pain and swelling, thinking it was a minor injury, so he did not go to the doctor.
However, after about 7 days, the scrotum swelled quickly, causing a lot of pain, accompanied by fluid and pus. When arriving at the Andrology Department - 108 Central Military Hospital, the ultrasound results and examination showed that the testicles were broken, infected and necroscopic. Doctors were forced to have surgery to remove all the affected testicles to prevent the risk of infection from spreading, threatening their lives. The patient's health is currently stable after surgery.
According to Dr. Phan Le Nhat Long - Department of Andrology, 108 Central Military Hospital, the testicle is an organ with a low injury rate thanks to its central location and self-defense mechanism. Men often have a reflex to hug their genitals when in danger. In addition, scalps with loose and elastic tissues also help reduce the impact.
Common causes of testicular injury include direct impact or force acting from the bottom up while squats.
Dr. Long recommends: After scrotum - testicular injury, men should go to a specialized medical facility as soon as possible. Even when the damage seems minor, early ultrasound will help detect internal damage, preserving reproductive function.
