Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Testicles
I woke up this morning with a sharp pain in my right testicle. It was very swollen around the epidiymis(only the right, the left was fine)...the testicles were also contracted. I dipped them in warm water to loosen them, then i layed down and the pain and swelling went away...I have had something similar to this before about 6 months ago. what could it be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of swollen epididymis only on the right side 6 months ago and now. Got relieved after dipping in warm water.
The causes can be engorged epididymis.
Large varicocele.
This can be confirmed by ultrasonography and color doppler as well as by palpation by an Urologist.
Once diagnosed get the proper treatment and surgery if indicated so to get a permanent cure.
