Only daring to ‘love’ in the dark, resolutely not letting his wife touch ‘that place’

TS.BS. Nguyen Dinh Lien, Head of the Department of Urology and Nephrology Surgery at Central E Hospital said that the new treatment and surgery for male patients is quite special.

Accordingly, the scrotum of this male patient is covered with small, messy white lumps between the dark, wrinkled skin in the scrotum. Previously, the small tumors were not recognized much, but recently the cysts are getting bigger and thicker, causing itching.

At this time, the patient quietly “hiding from his wife” went to the hospital alone. The patient came to the hospital in such a low self-esteem that he only “had sex” with his wife in the dark and absolutely did not let his wife “touch” that part.

At the hospital, after examination, the patient was diagnosed with a sebaceous gland cyst in the scrotum. This is a rarer site than in other parts of the body.

“To address patient confidence; To prevent complications, patients are indicated for surgical removal and removal of cysts. This is the most effective method to treat patients with sebaceous cysts.

Because without surgery, timely treatment of sebaceous gland cysts in the scrotum will cause a number of complications such as: Infection; cause itching, discomfort; Causes stress, anxiety, decreased confidence, increased guilt in men about psychological and sexual health… even the disease can cause cancer”, emphasized Dr. Nguyen Dinh Lien.

Sebaceous gland cyst (sebaceous cyst) is a common tumor, formed by blocked sebaceous ducts, dilated ducts, and accumulation of sebum. The residue contained inside is soft, ivory white or light yellow like bean residue.

This is a benign tumor, usually appearing in areas of the skin that are prone to sweating a lot such as the earlobes, ears, armpits, face, back, shoulders, buttocks, genitals (rare) … These tumors are usually not Painful, non-malignant but when enlarged can cause discomfort, redness and pain if inflamed.

The cause of the formation of sebaceous gland cysts is that the sebaceous glands in the pores do not function properly, causing waste to not be drained, accumulating for a long time and forming lumps.

Experts say, to limit the formation of this type of tumor, you must always keep the skin clean, dry, and help eliminate toxins easily.

In the case of oily and greasy skin, it is necessary to regularly wash the skin, bathe regularly to help open the pores so that the excretion of toxins is easy.

According to Dr. Nguyen Dinh Lien, sebaceous gland cysts swell up into lumps like acne and cause many people to mistake it for acne, so they often arbitrarily make incisions and squeeze the kernels inside. This is very dangerous because the tumor grows back and recurs many times, not to mention the unsanitary self-incision and molding process will cause superinfection.

“When the tumor is small, it will not cause pain or discomfort, but if left for a long time, it will detract from the beauty of the body, even cause inflammation, over time it can become necrotic, form ulcers, fester, causing inflammation. painful patient. If it is only at this stage, treatment is often difficult and costly.

The nature of this tumor is benign, so the patient is not too concerned if it is detected and treated in time. Therefore, when detecting tumors, patients need to visit medical facilities to be consulted by doctors for the most effective treatment.

Depending on the stage, the doctor will have an appropriate treatment method. Currently, surgery to remove the tumor is still the most optimal method, the doctor can perform cutting even small tumors.

Accordingly, if a single cyst is usually peeled off simply, in case the patient has a cluster cyst, the doctor will remove the entire scrotal skin, then reshape the scrotal skin,” said Dr. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Lien said.
