A mass the size of a chicken egg has grown in the scrotum.

Patient's question:

Three months without any pain or discomfort

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be testitis, which is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The testicles themselves rarely suffer from bacterial infections because they have a rich blood and lymphatic supply, making them highly resistant to bacterial infections. Most bacterial testitis is caused by inflammation of the nearby epididymis. It is recommended to treat it with intravenous antibiotics.
