What Causes Shrinkage And Softness In Testicles Post Treatment For Epididymitis?

One night in August i woke up in pain i went to the ER they said it was epididymitis. I took the antibiotics. I had a follow up exam. the doctors said everything was fine. Now since the medicine, both testicles get cold on a regular basis, and at times they shrink also usually on a daily basis. The left one worries me because it gets soft. I ve been to the doctor for these symptoms, they say everything is fine, but I am still worried that something is wrong. What should I do?

Hi,

Little softness and squeezing are common in testicles. This is a normal variation in testicles and its ability on how to adjust to different weathers and conditions. This may be more prominent after infection. But you should not worry. If you have no pain, no redness, and no swelling then you should be relaxed. Good luck.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
