General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! From your history, it seems that the infection from the urinary system has traversed to the genital system. The testes along with the epididymis have got involved in the infection (epididymo-orchitis). If the testes is getting enlarged even after taking anti biotics and antibiotics, then your doctor may advise you to get a culture sensitivity of your urine and change the antibiotics there after. However, if the infection is virulent, the infection may not get relieved, and pus formation can occur inside the space surrounding the testis (Pyocele), which will cause you much pain, swelling with discomfort and fever. In that case the treatment becomes surgical only. Therefore, I would advise you to get yourself reviewed by a Urologist/General Surgeon at the earliest. Wishing you an early recovery.
