The Department of Urology, Bach Mai Hospital has just received and treated a case of testicular injury in a 15-year-old male patient.
According to the patient, about 3 days before being admitted to the hospital, while practicing martial arts with friends, the child had a strong impact directly into the genitals. Because he thought the injury was not serious and was afraid, the patient did not inform the family and did not go to the medical facility immediately, but tried to endure the pain at home.
However, the condition of testicular swelling and pain is increasing, causing difficulties in daily activities and movement. It was not until the third day after the injury that the family took the child to Bach Mai Hospital for examination.
At the time of hospitalization, the patient was given a clinical examination and necessary tests and imaging diagnosis. Fortunately, doctors determined that the testicle was not damaged and could not recover and was still preserved. The patient was scheduled for timely surgery. After surgery, his health condition was stable, no complications were recorded and the patient was discharged after two days of treatment.
Dr. Cao Minh Phuc - Deputy Head of the Department of Urology, Bach Mai Hospital said: The testicle is an organ with a relatively low injury rate because it is located in the center of the body and is protected by many natural mechanisms. When in danger, men often have a reflex to cover their genitals. In addition, the testicles in the scrotum - a loose, elastic structure - help reduce the impact of impact. testicular injury can still occur when there is a strong direct impact on the genitals.
According to doctors, testicular injury can occur at any age but is more common in adolescents. Notably, due to the fear of being afraid, afraid of family knowledge or being subjective with initial injuries, many patients come to the clinic late, making treatment difficult and increasing the risk of leaving serious consequences.
