Brief Answer:
The scrotal support is treatment of choice
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
From the available description it is clear that the pain is muscular rather than anything testicular or serious.
This is evidenced by relieving of pain on rest, no other obvious sign of disease and almost normal ultrasound report.
Firstly in muscular pain the treatment of choice is scrotal support and application of ice packs on local area. For cold application you can keep ice packs or cold water packs in trouser pockets which will help you to relieve pain.
Secondly you need to understand that scrotal support should be maintained for whole of day when you assume erect position. Also there is need to use loose clothes during night/sleeping hours.
Thirdly there is no need to take painkiller and it will be alright within a one to two week period with above measures.
In regard to masturbation try to avoid for two weeks before pain is completely resolved.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards

Brief Answer:
around two weeks

Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
Regarding duration of scrotal support you need at least one to two weeks to see good results. In addition try to use it most of time when standing position.
The nerve you are mentioning is called as epidydimis a structure which contributes the seminal fluid and stores semen. This is the structure which is most affected with sternous activity.
In regard to decreased libido and sex drive the cause is stress associated with pain. As we know sex is pleasurable activity but it needs stress free mind to have proper activity.
In my view wait for relief of pain and I hope with that you will experience full fledged sexual activity.
I hope this answers your question.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me back.
Thanks and regards.

Brief Answer:
There is no sign of infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
First of all I like to tell you that lab reports are interpreted in light of clinical symptoms. 45 % of lymphocytes are slightly up than normal but it can be normal or lab error since the clinical symptoms do not support any such elevation. In addition lymphocytes rise in chronic conditions and not in short term conditions as in your case.
There is no symptoms which supports renal stone. There seems to be no link in two conditions.
Yes application of warm water is advisable. Use of scrotal support keeps the area warm and helps muscles to get relief. If you apply warm water in addition to support it is likely to work better. At least it will not harm you in any aspect.
You need to take the recommended things rather than searching for big disease. Al the reports are supporting that nothing to grievous and earlier acceptance of fact is desirable.
I hope this assists you.
Thanks and regards
