Suggest Treatment For Swelling On Right Side Of Scrotum
Question: Is it possible to have one testical drop,,It is sore and much harder than the other
Brief Answer:
Investigations, clinical evaluation and treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Male/56 - swelling on right side of scrotum - 2 weeks - consulted a Doctor - took antibiotic - felt like the testicle in the bottom of the scrotum - sore and hard - wants to know whether one testicle can drop -
With the history you have provided, this looks to be severe epididymo-orchitis on the right and due to inflammation and heaviness of the parts it may be sagging down.
I hope the following things are done, if not done, please get these done:
Clinical evaluation by an Urologist.
Urine: routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity.
Tests of blood
Ultrasound of the whole abdomen, particularly for genito-urinary system.
High resolution ultrasound with color doppler examination of the scrotum
Antibiotic coverage and anti-inflammatory medications
Scrotal support.
Plenty of oral fluids
Further management as per the reports and clinical evaluation
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
