What Causes Severe Pain And Swelling In The Right Testicle While On Nitrofurantoin?

Hi my 79 y/o father is followed by his urologist after being diagnosed in January 2017 with encapsulated prostate cancer with PSA 14 and scored 3+4=7. The doctor visit yesterday included an ultrasound of the effected area and a follow up PSA test. Dr also discontinued my father s oxyburitan med ,due to my father s urge to urinate but can t, and prescribed Nitrofurantoin to prevent UTI which my father was hospitalized for 3 weeks ago with also complications of bleeding he was coughing up but the source was not found. Per medical team, the endoscopyy showed only inflammation of the esophagus from severe hiccups my father was experiencing. This morning he woke up with severe pain to his right testicle and it s swollen as well. What could be the cause of this? Per my father, the office visit yesterday was uneventful meaning no manipulation during the ultrasound that could ve caused this swelling and pain at the site. He could hardly sit without discomfort.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Most likely, it is epididymo-orchitis but testicular torsion is also a possibility. Consult with your doctor immediately.
