What Causes Swelling And Tenderness In Testicles?

Hi Dr. I recently, say 2 months ago had my hand in my pocket and readjusted my testicles for comfort. in doing so i felt a suden sharp pain almost like i had strectched or even broken the vein to the testical. The area on that side was swollen tender and very sore for about a week and since then climax is not as intense, force of ejaculation not as strong and semen has changed to clear runny fluid and not much of it. Has put me off sex, feeling that things are not working correctly. Right testical can still ache if restricted. Thank you. Age 44, good health.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

All these symptoms are suggestive of epididimitis which is inflammation of part of testicle and this not uncommon in males especially in young age. This is usually treated with 10 days of antibiotics, usually ciprofloxacin and there are no permanent consequances. MAsturbation and intercourse should be avoided till pain persist, if possible since I may prolong inflammation course. Some more serious conditions such as tumors or torsion are rare but in doubtful cases you should do Doppler ultrasound or scintigraphy. In this particular case, I don’t think this is required.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
