I've been feeling a bit off lately like there's this strange discomfort or numbness in my right testicle. It's not really painful or sore, but just unsettling, especially when I press on it; it gets tender. I'm generally healthy at 28, aside from this weird sensation. What could be causing this, and should I be worried? Looking forward to your advice.

You may have hydrocele.examination of testicle is mandatory hence visit surgeon asap

Had a circumcision surgery last Saturday on 14 April but since yesterday I noticed some pus in the wound and it hurts when I try to clean it. Started taking ceftum 500 twice a day but not sure if washing with warm water will help or make the pus worse

It's important to seek medical advice immediately if you're experiencing pus and pain in a circumcision wound. While you're taking Ceftum, it's recommended to gently clean the area with warm water to help manage the infection, but you should not scrub or use harsh soaps. Warm water can help remove debris and promote drainage, but it's crucial to follow the guidance of your doctor, who may have specific instructions for wound care after circumcision.
