Suggest Treatment For Severe Testicle Pain

Hello, I m concerned about my 35 year old son. He has been experiencing pain in his testicles for more than a month now, he has seen a doctor who has recommended a hospital appointment but the appointment has still not been made and when my son made enquiries about this he was told it probably wouldn t be until October until he is seen about this. He first went to the doctors with this problem on 4/8/2015 Could this be serious and will this delay make it worse?

Hi.
Thanks for the query about your son who is 35 years old. Noted that he has pain in the testicles for more than a month.
I can understand that he is not getting an appointment but he has to be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.
Your mentioning detailed history would have helped me.
Anyways, I would advise you the following:
- Ask him to consult his Family Doctor for clinical evaluation and examination.
- Get an order for the tests of blood, urine and semen including the culture and sensitivity of urine and semen.
- Ultrasonography and color doppler of the abdomen as well as the scrotum.
These things will help him to get started on proper antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medicines in proper time. It is already late by 1 month.
I hope this answer helps him to get an early diagnosis and get started with proper medications.
By that time get an appointment fixed with the hospital or Urologist.
I find this answer helpful
