A member asked:
Can bacterial orchitis left untreated cause scar tissue on that tissue that would make it appear fairly larger (width not length)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A simple ultrasound of the area will help. You may have hydrocele, hernia, varicocele or combinations. Okay to get in for evaluation with your doc. Okay to take a friend or family with you and ask for the Ultrasound. Very likely this is treatable. Be well.
