At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, our Urology department provides expert diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of testicular disorders. These conditions can affect fertility, hormonal function, and overall male reproductive health. Our team of experienced urologists uses advanced diagnostic tools and treatment options to ensure optimal outcomes while prioritizing patient comfort and safety.
Problems:
- Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum that can reduce sperm quality and cause discomfort.
- Hydrocele: Accumulation of fluid around the testicle, causing swelling and discomfort.
- Testicular Cancer: Malignant tumors in the testicles, requiring early detection for effective treatment.
- Epididymal Cysts: Fluid-filled cysts in the epididymis, usually benign but may cause discomfort.
- Testicular Torsion: Twisting of the testicle, causing severe pain and requiring urgent intervention.
Treatments:
- Varicocele Repair Surgery: Laparoscopic or open surgical correction to improve fertility and reduce pain.
- Hydrocele Surgery: Minimally invasive procedures to remove fluid and prevent recurrence.
- Cancer Treatment: Orchiectomy (removal of affected testicle), chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surveillance depending on stage.
- Cyst Removal: Surgical excision of symptomatic epididymal cysts.
- Emergency Intervention: Immediate surgery for testicular torsion to save testicular function.
FAQs:
What are the common symptoms of testicular disorders?
Symptoms may include swelling, pain, lumps, heaviness in the scrotum, or changes in testicular size or shape.
How is testicular cancer detected?
Testicular cancer is detected through physical examination, ultrasound imaging, and blood tests for tumor markers. Early detection is key for successful treatment.
Can varicoceles affect fertility?
Yes, varicoceles can reduce sperm quality and motility, potentially causing male infertility. Surgical correction often improves fertility outcomes.
Is hydrocele harmful?
Hydroceles are usually benign but may cause discomfort or swelling. Surgery is recommended if they become large or symptomatic.
What should I do if I experience sudden testicular pain?
Sudden, severe testicular pain may indicate testicular torsion, which is a medical emergency. Immediate evaluation and surgery are required to save the testicle.
