Hi, I have had a slight ache in my lower right testicle and it feels like the area around the epididymis tail has been slightly swollen and more tender then the left. The right testicle is also slightly warmer than the left. Discomfort has been on and off for about a month.

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have infection of Epididymis and Testes(Epididymo-Ochitis).

It is usually secondary to UTI.

Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

Please take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefotaxime along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.and later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.
