Hi.
Thanks for your history and query.
This is a highly indicative of the following:
Acute Epididymo-Orchitis.
Rare chance of Hernia obstruction.
Occasional cases of torsion
The best way to have a proper diagnosis is :
Ultrasonography and color doppler examination. This will prove the diagnosis.
If this is infective, the treatment is :
Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory.
Scrotal support.
Plenty of oral fluids.
If torsion: immediately to be explored.
