three weeks ago, after sex. I had a throbbing pain in my testis. three days later the pain had gone. and I started feeling so hot down all around my scrotal sack. I scratch a lot and it gives a burning feeling. the fifth night I reached down to my testis and I felt the lump. since the the pain comes periodically but not much. it comes after ejaculation.
Brief Answer:
It can be epididymo-orchitis or varicocele.
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Thanks for the information given.
From the history, it seems more like epididymo-orchitis, though the presentation is not typical. We have to do a local examination to differentiate from a varicocele and other less likely causes like cystic swellings.
If confirmed, epididymo-orchitis can be treated with antibiotics and anti inflammatory agents for a few days.
So it will be fine if you can see your doctor for evaluation. After examination, you may be asked for a few investigations like urine routine & USG scrotum.
Hope this answer will help.
Be free to ask further questions if any.
Wishing you good health.
Thank you.
