My friend had an experience some years ago. According to him, he met an old girl friend and took her to his house and had an affair with her. After some days he discovered that the scrotum was painful when walking especially when climbing staircase. After some days it stopped but came back later and the scrotum became swollen and very painful.He went to the hospital and a test was run. He was told he would remain in the hospital for some days. He then told them he would go home to inform his people. Je left the place and when to a chemist. He explained everything and the result of the test. The chemist recommended the drugs to buy. He bought the drugs and used them. According to him, it disappeared

Looking like you've developed balls enlargement.
Surgery may be the next move.

From experience, male patients easily get remedy to their medical challenges because of the problem shared is problem solved theory! My advice; go and surrender yourself to a medical expert for proper examination after treatment to avoid further complications.

Hope it's not lymphatic filariasis... Elephantiasis .

More likely a hernia though. But this is no joking matter.

Go and see a doctor fast ooo. Not Nairaland
He said he already seen a doctor & he's on medication as he writes.

I suffered this two months ago and I’m not completely healed yet, I’ll never wish the 4hours intense discomfort on my enemy, mine was a little bit bigger than apple
What triggered it?
It’s hydrocele but if it’s not then you should be very afraid
Re: Swollen Testicles by maxiuc(m): 3:42pm On May 12
That's hernia it happened to me when I was 15yrs

Better seek for solutions now and have it in mind that your particular ball won't remain the same

Re: Swollen Testicles by AngelSlay: 3:47pm On May 12
Good evening. I’m glad you were able to see your doctor quickly and that the pain reduced after treatment — that’s usually a reassuring first sign.

From a fertility perspective, swelling in that area can feel very alarming, especially when it becomes large, firm, or uncomfortable to walk with. The healing process often depends on what your doctor diagnosed (for example, infection, cyst, abscess, hydrocele, varicocele, or inflammation), but generally:

Pain often improves first — usually within hours to a few days after treatment starts.

Swelling/size reduction tends to be slower — this can take days to a few weeks depending on the cause.

Stiffness or heaviness may linger for a while before the area softens and returns to normal.

Mild discomfort with movement can happen, but it should gradually improve — not worsen.


That said, if it’s truly as big as an apple, feels very tight/stiff, or gets easily strained even with short walks, please keep monitoring it closely. You should contact your doctor again immediately if you notice:

Increasing size

Severe pain returning

Redness or warmth

Fever

Difficulty urinating

Nausea/vomiting

Sudden hardness that becomes much worse


Those symptoms may need urgent reassessment.

For now:

Rest as much as possible

Avoid long walks, lifting heavy items, or strenuous activity

Wear supportive underwear if the swelling is around the scrotal area

Take medications exactly as prescribed

Keep your follow-up appointment


And please don’t rely only on personal experiences online — everyone heals differently depending on the exact diagnosis. If you’re comfortable sharing what the doctor said the swelling actually is, I can help you better explain what recovery typically looks like. Wishing you a smooth recovery.

You probably have testicular torsion. It destroys testes.

It's a medical emergency. Go for test to confirm.
Re: Swollen Testicles by rossovu: 4:02pm On May 12
I've been suffering from these issues for the past 3 years, mine started with left testis varicocele , it got so bad and painful I had to go for surgery, after that I recovered and all was good for sometime, then my right testes started swelling, I could no longer jog our run without pains.
I went to the hospital, they wrote some tests and scan for me to do, then transferred me to urology, but I'm yet to get an appointment date in general hospital.
I can't afford private hospital.
