Help Appreciated

Advice needed. I had an ultrasound done on my testes as had dull pain in left testicle. Had taken a month of antibiotics prior to ultrasound - 1000mg cipro daily for 2weeks followed by 200mg of doxycycline daily for 2 weeks. Urologist said I had a varicocele on left side and sonographer said I had inflammation of both testices indicating mild orchitis. No inflamation of epididymis. Urologist said it was very rare to have non specific viral orchitis and that pain in right testicle was just transfer pain. Issue is that 3 days after appointment with her, my right testicke has become very sore. Now that way for 2 weeks. On anti inflammatories daily for left testicle issue but I am very concerned as to what is wrong with me, what is causing this (I dont have mumps!!!) and how long will this go on. Coud it be bacterial? My urologist said not given amt of antibiotics taken. Please help...

Hi there!

Well, this could be due to infections (bacterial or viral) or inflammations. I would suggest following your doctor’s advice for the time being. If the symptoms do not seem to improve in 1-2 weeks, you may seek a review with your urologist.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
