Brief Answer:
Pain in Testicle is due to Epididymitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts and reports that you have posted it appears that you have infection of Rt. Epididymis(Epididymitis).

You have been rightly prescribed Ciprofloxacin and anti inflammatory drug like Ibugesic.

The main cause of the discomfort in testis is due to Epididymitis.

Please note that Epididymitis takes long time to get cured completely hence you will need to take antibiotics and anti inflammatory medication for 4 weeks.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,
I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
Dr.Patil.
