A member asked:

Does the swelling on my scrotum go down after the bacteria infection goes away?

Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Yes: Any abscess of scrotum needs to be drained. Sweling from a scrotal infection or due to epididymitis will go down after the infection has been successfully treated.
