Patient's question:
Patient is male, 40 years old, previously in good health, but recently noticed that the right testicle has become much larger.Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be testitis, which is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. The testicles themselves rarely suffer from bacterial infections due to their rich blood and lymphatic supply, which provides strong resistance to bacterial infections. Most bacterial testitis is caused by inflammation of the nearby epididymis. It is recommended to treat it with intravenous antibiotics.
