My 19 yr. old son began lifting weights a year ago and developed a swollen testicle and difficulty with urination. We have been to four doctors (including emergency doctor, family physician, and two urologists. He has had ultra sound, been treated with antibiotics, steroids, and antibiotics again. Nothing has helped. The most recent urology specialist felt there was no infection and that it would take time for the testicle to return to normal size. This week he went to a neurologist to see if there might be nerve injury. He is scheduled for an MRI and nerve conduction study. Your thoughts on what else he can do?
Hello and. As a Urologist, i can understand your concern.I'm hopeful the scrotal ultrasound scan, included a Doppler scan. Once that's done, a clear idea of the cause for the swelling of testis is known. He should be using elevation of the scrotum, at all times, to reduce swelling. He should also use anti-inflammatory medicines, till the swelling reduces. For difficulty in urination, he must have an aerodynamic evaluation. Personally, i don't see any reason for a neurology intervention. If you want my expert opinion, send the report to me, as a direct question. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
