General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What problems you are describing pertaining to swelling and pain in the scrotum could be arising out of infection of testis and epididymis called 'epididymo-orchitis'.
Kindly get a scrotal ultrasound scan and urine routine examination done. You need to consult Surgeon with the report for clinical evaluation.
You would require a course of antibiotics along with analgesic medication to counter the infection.
Kindly follow the advise as would be given by your doctor.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
