Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, short and specific.
Noted your history and understood the concerns.
Get the following done to make sure why the swelling is present.
- Examination and clinical evaluation by a General Surgeon or Urologist.
- Ultrasound and color doppler examination of scrotum leads to confirmation.
- Ultrasound of abdomen particularly for urinary tract.
- Tests of blood: CBC, sugar, urea and creatinine (Kidney function tests).
- Tests of urine: Routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity.
All this will provide an exact diagnosis as well as corroborative evidence and plan for specific management as per the cause found.

I hope this answers your query helps you for an early diagnosis and specific management.
