Suggest Treatment For Swelling Of Testical

I went to the hospital two weeks ago when my right testical swelled after a mountain bike ride they said I had a hydrocele. they only gave me pain meds. A week later I went to a urologist and they said they thought I had epididymitis and gave me antibiotics. It s been a week since and I still have swelling and discomfort when I walk. It also feels like the testical is connected to sack. I m getting a little worried I haven t been able to go to work in weeks because of the pain. What should I do or is it normal and will go away. Swelling is no where close to as bad as it was

Hi.

If the swelling is not as bad as it was then I am sure it is getting better. If you are really impatient then you can discuss a surgicsl drainage with your doctor, but a non-invasive approach is always best. Speak to your doctor once again to help boost recovery before you consider any other options.

Best wishes.
