Patient: i am 27 years old bachelor. i never had any sexual intercourse till now.i masturbate frequently and i had hurted my epididymis an year ago. it started paining with infection and i have been taking treatment since then. the Surgeon had adviced me nothing was wrong and everything was fine. recently the doctor told me that no more treatment is needed and i do not have to visit him again. he prescribed me to take cataflam tablet whenever i fee pain. the pain is coming on the right side of testicles and the doctor told me one vein is still need to be recovered. having said that,he mentioned that he doesn't know what to do with that and i do not have to visit him again. also he does not advice any operation as everything is fine. i took a second opinion from another doctor and he did some ultra scanning 6 months ago and all the results were normal.I  am worried now as my doctor said as he do not know how to treat this pain. please help me with your suggession as how should i proceed? the pain is not stopping at all and making me stressed despite it is not swelling very high.many thanks.. Doctor: 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.All these symptoms are 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.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.
