Dr. Syam Sundar Patro1 Like9 Answers Astra Zeneca vaccine against Covid-19 has the potential to cause Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS), a rare side effect associated with blood clotting. TTS causes blood clots & leads to low blood platelet count. Experts say, the adverse effects related to vaccine usually occur within a few weeks (1-6 weeks) after the administration. Hence, people in India who took the vaccine 2 years ago need not worry. What do you think about it?

Paratesticular tumours are masses of slow & indolent growth & in most cases of benign nature, in these cases the treatment of choice is simple extirpation of the lesion. A paratesticular mass may derive from a number of structures that surround the testis within the scrotum; most commonly, they derive from the spermatic cord. Dr. Vivek Jha is sharing a clinical case of "Large Paratesticular Growth" managed with surgical expertise by him. Share your views on the case & learn new things.
