What Do Pain And Inflammation In The Testicles Indicate?

I have had an inflammation with the testicles and pain in the kidney that radiates in the night. I have had several cases of reported pyelonephritis, I was given stronger antibiotics but still do not help. I take a lot of water but I don t seem to urinate up to the quantity of water I consume. I experience pain in that same left side immediately after after eating. It does not disturb in the morning till in the night. I always feel very well in the morning. I m having a pain in my penis after urine, my testicles are inflammed and I also feel a pain in my left flank region. I went to the hospital last month where I did a CT scan. The result reads that; Fullness of the calyceal in the left kidney and also the urinary bladder is moderately distended with urine. I feel that my bladder is emptying .

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
This type of pain and location is suggestive of epididimitis which is inflammation of part of testicle and this not uncommon in males especially in young age. This is usually treated with 10 days of antibiotics, usually ciprofloxacin and there are no permanent consequances. MAsturbation and intercourse should be avoided till pain persist, if possible since I may prolong inflammation course. Some more serious conditions such as tumors or torsion are rare but in doubtful cases you should do Doppler ultrasound or scintigraphy. In this particular case, I don’t think this is required and this should improve on antibiotic therapy.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
