Im taking prednisone, wondering can prednisone or any other type of steroid make testicals enlarged or swollen?

Not common: Steroids can cause fluid retention and swelling in the entire body, it is not commonly limited to testicles.

A member asked:
10mg/day prednisone (for suspected pmr). How long can I take it before the need to taper? I'd like to stop after 3 weeks. I understand it may not be long enough but steroids scare me. Could I maybe take breaks between courses if I need to go back on?
