Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understand your concerns.
The cause of pain in prosthetic testis would obviously be infection.
Get an ultrasound and color Doppler done. Tests of blood and urine.
Local examination by Urologist.
This will give diagnosis and plan for treatment.
Please dee the Urologist or General Surgeon ASAP.
