See dr.: Causs of testicular pain include infection, trauma, and torsion. Infection is epididimoorchitis and usually treated wtih antibiotics. Trauma is usually treated by support and sometimes warm and cold compresses. Torsion is where testicle gets twisted and can lose its blood supply. This is serious because can lose testicle with subsequent necrosis.

Question 8

one testicle of my 3 weeksyoung baby got swollen and bigger then return back to same size as the other after 2 days. what caused it and is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Patent processus: Could have been an infection (unlikely), vs transient torsion vs communicating hydroceole.  Likely favors the latter.  May need surgical intervention if recurs.  Your baby should be evaluated by a pediatric Urologist.

Question 9

i had a spermatocele removed on 7/17/17  is it normal for the testicle to be swollen double the size of the other one?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: This definitely is not "normal" following surgery. I would guess you have a hematoma, i.e. bleeding at the surgical site, perhaps now with some inflammation due to the blood. If not especially painful, probably not serious. But you shouldn't be trying to sort this out on this or any other distant forum. Contact the doctor who did the surgery!
