when there is swelling on an ultrasound of a testicle after a mild blunt injury what do doctors typically do to treat this in this scenario?

Question

Had a scrotum ultrasound a few months ago for right testicle swelling. Would they have noticed any tumors if present? I didn't ask at the time.

Answer 1

Multiple therapies: usually support and anti-inflammatory medication. If infection is present, use of oral antibiotics.

Answer 2

Future problems : Many people just don't have enough room in their jaws for proper erruption or maintenance of wisdom teeth. Sometimes they can form cysts, or damage the other teeth. As a result, we often recommend removing the wisdom teeth before there is pain or swelling. A common time to consider this is around age 15-17, as the roots are not completely formed yet, and the surgery is easiest.

Answer 3

Trust your doctor.: Wisdom teeth, or third molars, can damage the second molars if you do not have enough room for them. Impacted third molars have caused patients in my practice to lose the second molars. The third molars can damage the roots of these second molars which you need to chew correctly. If your dentist advised removal of your wisdom teeth, trust him, or her. It is unwise to ignore this advise.

Answer 4

Not always necessary: Can monitor as an alternative. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to possible infection, and/or cyst formation in the future.

Answer 5

Prevention: There are many factors that go into the decision as to whether or not it is wise to remove wisdom teeth. If straight and enough room to erupt fully- probably let them. If unlikely they will come in straight and insufficient room, usually best to remove when roots are not fully formed and easily removed, rather than waiting until pain, swelling and difficult to remove. Early intervention is best.

Answer 6

That depends: The nature of the injury determines what kind of treatment is required. Did you have a crushing injury, hyper extension or flexion of the finger, jamming the finger. Most importantly could it be broken ? Immobilization can help many injuries , but the length of time is really determined by what specifically is injured.

Answer 7

Depends: This would depend on the severity and type of injury and whether the finger required stabilization. But in most cases, probably yes.

Answer 8

Possible infection: It may or may not be related to the piercing since it is now one year down the line. If it is related then it could be an infection which you should have checked out.

Answer 9

It depends: But the most likely problems are infection or a contact allergy to the stud.

Answer 10

Elevate & compress: The best self treatment would be to elevate your feet (above your heart) when sitting & elevate the foot of the bed while sleeping. Also compression stockings should be applied every morning before getting out of bed.

Answer 11

Compression: Talk with your medical doctor about your pulmonary edema. For your feet, compression stockings is the number one way to help, elevation when not walking and walking all help.

Answer 12

No: Trauma to the scalp often produces a "goose egg" swelling due to bleeding into the membranes of the scalp. Ice and pressure will reduce the amount of bleeding. If injury is severe, evaluation may be necessary including ct scan to look for fracture or bleeding inside the skull. Ice and pressure will not affect the fracture or internal bleeding. But additional evaluation would be necessary.
