Is Terbinafine HCL Safe For Swollen And Itchy Testicle?
I'm taking terbinafine HCL for a fungal infection. Have noticed that my scrotum/testicles appear to have swollen slightly. No real discomfort just feels different, especially when on exercise cycle. Can not really see difference but can feel it. Also have had some very slght itching but not too much and only rarely. Mainly on hands which is not where the fungal infection was.

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.
Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Borderline Varicocele-with Tight Underwear's causing swollen testicles.
The Swelling of the scrotum is not related with fungal infection only but with the tight ugies also.
This is also the reason for the discomfort while on cycling exercise.
My Impression about your health problem-
There are 2 ailments in your case which are not related to each other.-
There is -Swollen testes and Scrotum /
and there is Fungal Infection of the scrotum-spread from the hands
?Terbinafine safe for swollen and itchy testicle?
Ans is -NO-as the testicle swelling in your case is due to the borderline Varicocele-for which loose ugies and stoping of the cycling exercise is the answer
this would need Color doppler study and evaluation from Surgeon and needful treatment accordingly.
But for Itchy Scrotal Skin on testes-Terbinafine is safe.
Hence there are 2 answers for this single question with 2 subqueries in it as explained above.
Hope this would help you to reduce worry with your problem.
Take care and wish you to recover fast and Live healthy.
Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your family and specialist doctors there.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
