Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 35 year old male. I had testicle and lower abdominal pain from couple of weeks, but I did not have burning sensation on urinating. So, I started taking antibiotic Azithromycin and analgesics Ibuprofen. Now my pain has almost subsided, but I have developed a lump on the posterior side of the testis. The size of the lump reduced in the last couple of days, but I still have a slight stinging pain sometimes. Please help me treat this.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concerns. From the available description, it appears that you are suffering from epididymo-orchitis, which is a condition characterized by inflammation of the testis leading to testicular pain and epididymis (a structure behind testis). Depending on the cause of the problem, it can persist for months. Since you responded with Azithromycin, there is a possibility that you have the problem from a bacteria. I mean to say that, in the next one to two weeks there must be further improvement. In the meantime, support your testis by using cloth which elevates the testis to a significant height. Avoid any type of stress, and ignore the minor symptoms as it may take some more time to go away. I hope this helps you. If you have more questions, feel free to write back. For more information consult an andrologist online.
