    A lump in the testicle may be caused by epididymitis, testicular tuberculosis, epididymal cyst, etc. It requires corresponding treatment according to different causes.

    1. Epididymitis

    A pimple in the testicle may be caused by a local inflammatory reaction. It is usually epididymitis caused by not paying attention to local hygiene and poor lifestyle. You can take amoxicillin capsules, cefixime tablets and other antibiotics as directed by your doctor.

    2. Testicular tuberculosis

    Testicular tuberculosis may be caused by the local spread of urinary system tuberculosis. Usually, Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects the testicles through the blood barrier, causing pimples in the testicles. You can take oral medications such as rifampicin tablets and ethambutol tablets as directed by your doctor.

    3. Epididymal cyst

    The long-term inflammatory reaction in the testicles will cause proliferative lesions and form epididymal cysts. Pimples will also appear on the testicles when touched, which can be removed using minimally invasive surgery, surgery and other methods.

    In addition, it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by testicular cancer and other causes. You need to go to the hospital for relevant examinations and take timely and reasonable treatment.
