Hello, my scrotum has started to harden and feels like a plastic bag, it is sensitive to the touch,and slightly red ,im working in Venezuela and i have been wearing work bottoms so have been quite hot and sweaty this only stated 2 days ago and at first i just thought it was due to rubbing of my clothes!!!
Hello Thanks for query .Based on he facts that you have posted I would satte that you have infection of Testicle (Orchitis).
Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis. 1) Urine routine and culture. 2) Ultrasound scanning of Scrotum
Start taking broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefixime along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin and anti infalmmatory medication Diclofenac twice daily with urine alkalizer thrice daily .Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.
Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.
Ensure to drink more water .
It takes long time for Orchitis to get cured hence you will need to take medications for 3-4 weeks .
