What Is The Treatment For Swollen And Painful Scrotum?
I woke up last saturday to find my scrotum swollen, blue and purple and painfull. I went to the doctor on monday who checked me and then referred me to a urologist who also checked me, used ultrasound and then prescribed antibiotics for 10 days.
The blue colour has since gone and i now notice a long lump that when i feel it, feels like it is between my testicles but more to the left running all the way from the top of my scrotum. What is this likely to be, im starting to worry because the medication is almost over but i still have little pain and discomfort?

Hello,
The lump that you are feeling is the epididymis which becomes swollen so you have the pain in your scrotal area. The epididymis is the tube where semen passes from the testicle to the penis.
It is normal to feel the epididymis a little painful and still would not revert to its normal size. it may last for a few weeks even months.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Manuel C See IV, Urologist
