What Causes Swelling In The Scrotum?
Question: I have swelling in my scrotum. It seems to be on the side of the testicle,. Earlier in the week I had burning during urination at the tip of my penis. I have also had a low grade fever at times....Your thoughts?
Brief Answer:
Epidydimitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
With recent recovery from urine infection, I first suspect epididymis inflammation.
You need to get antibiotics for this.
Please see your doctor for a prescription. Once the infection treated the swelling would resolve on its own. Epididymis infection takes longer time to treat because the antibiotics would not penetrate easily.
Sometimes Intravenous therapy given.
Good health.
