Should I Be Worried Of Small Lump On Top Of Testicle And Pain In Lower Abdomen And Back?

Last Sunday I noticed a small lump on top of my testicle. Went to MD on Monday. After PE she thought it was a hydrocele. I underwent an US that same day and the DX was epididymitis. Rx of levofloxin and 800 mg of ibuprofen 3-4 times per day.

Saturday and I still have mild pain in testicle and low back and abdomen. I'm thinking it's lingering infection. Should I be concerned of anything more serious?

Hi. This is the diagnoses case of epididymitis. It take a longer duration of time for it to get a relief due to its typical anatomical structure.
So continue treatment. IT may take a bit longer than usual other infections.
Put a scrotal support, drink plenty of water.
