What causes severe pain in scrotum?
Patient: Hello , about 10 hours ago I started using Vimovo and Etoflam as prescribed by a GP for back pain, taken 2 tablets/applications so far . In the fast 4 hours I have quite severe pain in my scrotum where there is a large (16cm) epididymal cyst, is this pain connected to the new meds? i also take , warfarin , valsartan and bisop , the GP is aware of all my meds.Thanks Aidan Doctor: HelloThanks for query .Based on the facts that you have large 16 cm sized Epididymal Cyst in your scrotum the severe pain that you have since two days could be mostly due to either a) Sudden increase in size of the cyst b) Infection setting up in cyst It needs to be confirmed again by doing Ultrasound Scanning of scrotum .In the mean while start taking broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefotaxime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily .Continue rest of the medications that you are taking for other illness.Further treatment will depend upon result of this test.Dr.Patil.
