My right testicle is more or less always bigger than left and really red since I was diagnosed with orchitis in November 2012. Why? Something to worry
How long after bacterial orchitis ( will a testicle remain very hard? 2-3 weeks after infection, testicle is still 'hard" .Not std. Infection gone.
Just treated for bacterial orchitis (testicle infection) took cipro, (ciprofloxacin)macrobid, doxycline, full courses. Testicle is still moderately hard/ bulges out.
When a testicle atrophies from bacterial orchitis are the leydig cells usually still okay in that testicle? I read online on a few sites that usually only sertoli cells die. But docs all tell me different things.
I read online that sometimes after bacterial orchitis/infection, the leydig cells can still remain intact in an atrophied testicle. Why?
