Hello
Thanks for query.
It is common to get swelling of the Testicle after prostate surgery as the bacteria liberated after resection or removal of prostate transmitted from surgical site through Vas Difference to the testicle causing infection of testicle (Orchitis).
It gets cured within 2 weeks with antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs like Diclofenac twice daily .
