Question: My husband has a type of growth inside his ball sack. Has been complaining about it for a few weeks. It's not on his testicles he says he has stomach aches and back pain as well what could this be
Brief Answer:
Physical examination and investigations ...
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query.
As you have written the age of your husband is 25 years.
I would like to know a few more details, please provide for me to help you more:
Does he have any pain in the scrotum ?
Was it detected incidentally or due to some trouble?
About the Stomach ache and back Pain:
Are there any other associated symptoms like, nausea, vomiting, loose motions, fever, bloating of abdomen so so?
More detailed history will help me to help you better.
The probable causes of the symptoms of your husband are:
There can be epididymal cyst in the scrotum, this is not on the testicle.
Pain in stomach (abdomen) and backache can be due to: Colitis, Irritable Bowel syndrome (IBS), pancreatitis, stomach ulcer and so on.
Either investigations, proper history can provide a clue.
I would advise the following in such a case:
Investigations:
*Routine blood investigations like Complete blood picture, blood sugar, urea, creatinine, liver function tests, thyroid function tests.
*Urine -routine and microscopy
*Stool: routine, microscopy, occult blood, culture and sensitivity.
*Ultrasonography of abdomen and scrotum along with color doppler study.
The treatment will necessarily depend upon the the clinical examination by a General Surgeon / Urologist and the reports of the investigations, so please go for all.
I hope this answer helps you to get a proper direction for the diagnosis and proper treatment.
