A member asked:

Could prostatitis make my testicles swollen?

No: Not usually. If you have a very severe prostatic infection you may get testicular swelling with prostatitis but that is very rare. Patricio gargollo, pediatric urology, dallas, texas.

Indirectly: Prostatitis and epididymoorchitis are often of similar origin and can be found occurring together. See a urologist for prostate exam and testicular exam and treatment.
