Suggest Treatment For Inflammation On The Testicles

default
Posted on Tue, 31 Mar 2015
Question: My son had an emergency surgery because he had inflammation in one of his testicles. It was enlarged and was Xrayed and found to be deadened, so the Doctor advised as his legal conservator to have it removed. Since then I have observed that he has permanent penal extension. Though, he isn't sexally active, I catch him massaging himself a lot with a pillow between legs. Is that normal for that to be after such a procedure. He is also incontenent before and after the surgery.

Brief Answer:
That is not related to surgery! Is he in any pains?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this what your son is experiencing. If he is in no pain, then this is not priapism and has no consequences. I think he is just responding to physiological need of sex and has resolved to masturbation. This is not related to surgery and certainly has no other looming complications related to this observation.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish your son well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
