How Can Recurrent Swollen Testicles Be Treated?
MY 4 YEAR OLD HAS SWOLLEN TESTICLES
I TOOK HIM TO THE ER LIKE 3 MONTHS AGO FOR THE SAME REASON AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS RELATED TO THE FEVER HE HAD. WELL NOW THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING BUT HE DOESNT HAVE A FEVER AND HE WAS COMPLAINNING THAT IT WAS HURTING. WHAT SHOULD I DO.?

HI,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,your 4 yr old seems to suffer from-Secondary Hydrocele? and that is why without fever your son is having swollen testicle.You need to check out other causes of such a recurring lump,which Your Surgeon Doctor would do the needful.
I would suggest to have Second Opinion from Surgeon,who would physically check and if need be get USG done to find out the cause of this painless swelling of his testes.
This would give you the best lead to treat it by medicines or by surgical intervention as suggested from expert-surgeon.
Hope this reply would help you to know what you should do? in your case,in the best possible way.
Welcome for any further query in this regard
Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.
Good Day!!
