Suggest Treatment For Persistent Pain In Testicles Despite Medication
Around 10 days ago I was kicked in the testicles - please don t ask, it was a sex game that was misunderstood and went too far. I have been in a great deal of pain since, so bad that I have been unable to sleep and felt nauseous. As a result of this I went to casualty and was diagnosed with an infected testicle I did explain that this was probably not the case. I was prescribed Ciprofloxacin by A & E. A few days later, I wasn t convinced with this diagnosis and decided to phone the doctor who did my vasectomy just over a year ago. He agreed to examine me, we had a laugh and he said my testicle is swollen with blood, but there is no permanent damage. I am now coming the end of my 10 day Ciprofloxacin prescription and I am still in a lot of pain, right testicle and down my right leg. I am worried to say the least. The sore testicle does seem a little higher than the left one and it seems to raise up faster if I stand up etc. I have had many hot baths and I can t really feel much difference between the two, other than one is sore, the other is not. Please advise, as I am very worried now (as you can probably imagine). ...and no, I have never done anything silly like this before. Thanks.

Hello,
During some type of sex game you had a trauma on the testicles and presently it is swollen and you have persistent pain. I am sorry to hear about it. You are on prescription medicine of your treating doctor who diagnosed the symptoms to be due to infection. You are already 10 days and do not feel like you are getting better. It is sore and hurting you.
You are suggested to get clinically examined by a Urologist. Trauma to the scrotum commonly harms the contents of the testis causing tear with blood leaking from the wound, it may also cause infection also. Persistent pain that you are experiencing may be due to infection or swelling of the epididymis. Get a scrotal ultrasound scan done to study the testicle, epididymis, spermatic cord and its blood flow. You will be treated (conservative or surgery if required) according.
Your treating Urologist may ask you to get a urinalysis (R/E and C/S) and few routine workouts to be done. In the meantime, take the prescription medicines that the urologist prescribes and wear a jock strap to protect the affected scrotal sac. Get treated at the earliest. You can take Combiflam, one SOS to relieve the pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
