Hi there, I felt slight discomfort caused by bit swelling testicle, seems they were bigger then before, right testicle was touching or pushing against right leg.That was I found they are bit bigger.I have done slef chcek, no lumps found.I was checked by GP, he confirmed same thing, no lumps found.I was given Doxycycline capsules for a week, one per day, but no improvments at all.Later I was sent to ultrasound scan, nothimg wrong was found inside my testicles.Doctor gave me later same tablets for next six weeks, I have 3 tablets left.Testicles got smaller, but still feel discomfort, when sitting, standing, walking, from time to time there is a pain in right testicle for short period of time.Doctor referred me to Urologist, but appointment is due 22 nd August 17, it is quite long time to wait.My blood and urine was tested for: FBC, ESR, Glanduar Fever, U and E, LFT, Calcium, TFT, P.S.A, Glucose.I do not understand to all of them, I was told we excluded all worse ilnesses / probably he means life threating/ My kidneys were not scanned or prostata chceked yet. Testicles seems to me be like bigger, filled. Can anyone help me to understand of things I was tested for or also what could cause my problems?

Thank you very much

I would probably do cultural examination of your urine and semen for possible infections. Of course US scan of prostate (transrectal, I'm sorry!) and US scan of kidneys could also be useful.
