Schedule an appointment with a urologist to evaluate the lump and pains.

Given the lump's long-standing presence and recent pain, it's essential to rule out potential issues.

Possible causes include:

Epididymal cyst
Spermatocele
Varicocele
Testicular torsion (unlikely, given the lump's long history)

Avoid self-diagnosis and seek medical attention for a proper evaluation and peace of mind.

Question 6

I've noticed that my uvula seems quite large and kind of pointy at the end. Sometimes it feels like there's something stuck in my throat. Could this be causing some nasal blockage? I'm wondering if I might need surgery for this.

Accepted Answer

If uvula size is very large and pointy and causing symptoms like feeling something stuck in your throat and nose blockage, it may require surgical intervention. One common surgery for this condition is uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). However, the decision for surgery should be made after a thorough evaluation by an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist. They may also recommend medications such as corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and swelling. It is important to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
