Tumors usually require a period longer
than a few months to become larger.
Testicular tumors are usually not painful.
If the swelling is caused by acute
inflammation, no matter the cause
(infection, trauma…), the testicles may
swell in a matter of days. Swelling caused
by inflammation is usually followed with
pain, local increase in temperature and
redness, fever, etc.… In cases of
inflammation, a liquid (exudate)
accumulates between the testicular
coverings and the testis appears larger
than normal.
There is another condition called
hydrocela that manifests with testicular
swelling. Swelling during hydrocela is due
to the accumulation of serous liquid
between the testicular coverings (visceral
and parietal). It is usually a congenital
anomaly. You may want to investigate
possible hydrocela; a scrotal hernia
should be also excluded.
Sandoz 4D is a medication for treating
tuberculosis. Testicular tuberculosis is a
rare condition and can act as a testicular
tumor. To follow up, you may consult
your urologist or seek a second opinion
from another urologist.
