Is it normal to experience testicular changes after treating epididymitis?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand that you are facing some troubles, and I would be glad to help you gain a better understanding of your issue. Kindly provide me with the following details:

1. Has your testicle always been going up since you were a child?

2. What antibiotic were you prescribed for the treatment of your condition?

3. Do you still experience any pain in the testicle?

4. Are you encountering any difficulties passing urine, such as straining, feeling incomplete emptying, etc.?

5. Have you ever undergone any surgeries in the past?

6. Is the issue affecting only one testicle, or are both of them involved?

7. Does the testis return to its normal position if you pull it down?

Can you please share the reasons for the ultrasound performed on your testicles during the epididymitis treatment?

Please remember that epididymitis itself does not typically cause testicles to go up during the cremaster reflex. Such a condition is generally present since childhood and is called retractile testes. I am here to assist you to the best of my abilities once you provide the necessary information. Feel free to respond with the details, and I will do my best to help you.

Regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your response. Based on your answers, it indeed appears to be a retractile testis. This condition is commonly observed in newborns and young boys but usually tends to resolve by the time of puberty. In most cases, retractile testis does not necessitate treatment unless it causes significant discomfort or pain during retraction. If treatment is required, options include a minor procedure called cremaster muscle release or, in certain specialized centers, the use of botox to relax the cremaster muscle. If there is no discomfort, you can opt to continue with regular follow-ups with your doctor or perform regular self-testicular examinations. I hope this explanation clarifies things for you. Feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance or have additional questions. I am here to help anytime.

Regards.
