Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have infection of Testicle (Orchitis) secondary to UTI
I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Do you have urinary symptoms like frequency for urination ,nocturnal frequency ,poor stream etc suggestive of Enlarged Prostate which is very common at this age and needs to be investigated ?
2) Are you diabetic?
3) Do you have fever ?
The swelling of the testis coukd be mostly due to infection of testicle itself (Orchitis)
Consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
