What Causes Dragging Sensation, Reddening, Burning And Swelling Of Testicles?

HI doc. i experience dragging sensation of my balls, reddened, burning sensation and swelling of balls especially on the right testicles and it seems that there is a bulge on the upper testicles. I have consulted my doctor and done a testicular examination and found out that i have swollen lympnodes in my inguinal area as well as the pubic bone, He request a ultrasound because it might be a scrotal hernia just to be sure and then he prescribe me a deoxycycline to take 2x a day for 10 days. I m sexually not active but i love to eat salty foods and drink soda. A day after i undergone scrotal ultrasound and found out that all of my parts on my balls are normal no cyst or enlargement except for my mild varicocele measuring 2.5mm and the reference normal size is 2.0mm. My doc says it might be a viral infection or systemic infection but i don t feel any difficulty in urinating, burning sensation or any discharges except for mild hot feeling in my body especially in lower part of my body. I m so under stress. what should i do?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: I think you have epididymo orchitic(infection) and may be varicoele is an accidental finding.

Explanation: By your symptoms it seems like an infection (epididymo orchitis) as your doctor has prescribed antibiotics for you(Doxycycline) and you had inguinal lymp node swelling. You continue with your medication as advised by your doctor and revisit him if you do not get relief from this medication.
Varicocoele might be an accidental finding and you need not worry about this for time being.
Good luck
