Suggest Remedy For Swelling And Tenderness In Testicles

Hello Well my right testicle became a little swollen & tender (just a slight pain to touch day about a 2 out of 10) about 4 days ago . I notice it more sitting or walking . But when I lie down & sleep In the morning I wake to find only the swelling gone but still a little tender compared to my right tedticle that had none . Then over the course of the day with walking & sitting etc it gets worse again but not a massive swelling just slight with a little tenderness . Should I use a nurofen to help with the inflammation ? Regards Alan

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.

Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Varicocele with testicular pain due to retrograde flow of blood in to testicular veins.Cause is in the abdominal testicular veins,whose valves are incompetent,which leads to retrograde venous flow causing congestion of the testes and spermatic cord,causing stretch pain.
So don't use nurofen,as it is not due to inflammation.
For pain,else you can take Tylenol-/ paracetamol tab,if unbarable pain is there.Or Scrotal Supports to hanging heavy testes would also reduce the pain in testes.
Remedy-
You should Consult A Surgeon or Urologist.
Get Color Doppler done to detect the regurge from Venous Flow.
Get the planned Varicocelectomy- by high inguinal ligation or microvascular ligation of the feeder Varicose Pampiniform Veins of spermatic cord.

Hope this would help you to solve your health issues in the best way possible.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.

Good Day!!
