Yes, I am serious. A message like this is not very helpful. I might not be
as clever as you are, but that is the reason I asked this question on this
forum. This patient had an op. for hydrocele and had a massive haematoma
which did not resolve afterwards and on the other testicle scar tissue
adhesions. It causes him so much problems he is ready for amputation of his
scrotum. The urologist is sure there is no malignancy, patient is past
fatherhood age and nobody knows what to do next, without mutilating him.
Hence my question. I have never treated this area before, never even
considering it, but just to say that it is a no go area is shortsighted,
without any valid reason. So please can you state for me why this is a silly
question so I can learn from it.
Thank you for your help,
Bernadette Sangeelee.
