Is it normal for the testicles to be hard after varicocele surgery and taking anti-inflammatory medication?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I had varicocele surgery a month ago. The prenatal doctor said that if I get epididymitis, taking some medicine would make it recover quickly. I took anti-inflammatory medicine for a week, but when I touched my testicles, they were still hard and much larger than before. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, in your case, after taking anti-inflammatory medication for a week due to epididymitis, the scrotum is still hard and much larger than before, which is abnormal. Based on your condition, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up promptly, undergo a detailed scrotal ultrasound examination, and receive intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment if necessary. In addition to symptomatic treatment for male patients with urogenital diseases, patients also need to pay attention to maintaining healthy eating habits in their daily lives.
