I have gone through your question and understood your concerns. You are having painful lump in left testicle, which is diagnosed as infection of the testis (called orchitis) by your doctor. While you are thinking it might be hernia. Well hernia come in scrotum from abdomen through inguinal canal. there is simple test, if you can go above the swelling it is not hernia rather it is a testicular swelling. And if it is painful, it suggests there is infection. Hernia is a clinical diagnosis and urine routine examination has no role in its diagnosis. Diagnosis is confirmed by blood complete picture, urine routine examination, ultrasonography of scrotum. If such a patient into my clinic I treat him by prescribing him tab ciprofloxacin 500mg 12hourly, cap doxycycline 100mg BD, tab paracetamol 500mg 8 hourly and scrotal support. Since mentioned antibiotics are prescription drugs, you need to see a general surgeon or an urologist to get these drugs. Wishing you rapid recovery.
I hope my answer will help you. Do rate it, if you like it.
Regards

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history about pain in the left testicle. Your Doctor thinks it as an infection and took urine sample.
I would advise you the following:
Tests of blood are also important.
Ultrasonography and color doppler examination of he scrotum and the abdomen will us the best idea as to the probable diagnosis and guide us for the proper treatment.
Urine has also to be sent for culture and sensitivity also.
You may then need a course of 1 to 3 weeks of an antibiotic treatment.
Drink plenty of water and get a review after a few weeks.
