Suggest Treatment For Swollen Testicles And Recurrent UTIs

Posted on Mon, 28 Sep 2015

Question: I have had 3 periods of UTI since July 27, 2015.
Now I am taking Cipro 500 mg since yesterday for 10 days.
My concern: For the first time my testicles are swollen. Should this be serious concern?

Brief Answer:
It could be due to infection most probably.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Although not a very serious concern, swollen testicles need further investigation with keen physical exam and tests like doppler ultrasound.

It could be due to infection most probably. Kindly consult your local surgeon/urologist and get yourself examined.

Brief Answer:
anti-inflammatory medication

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If available OTC, you can take an anti-inflammatory medication provided you do not have any kidney or liver problems. Ibuprofen would be available. Common side effects of this include increased gastric acidity.
