Got myself a swollen testicle!!! Dr says I have Hydrocele. He has perscribed Ciprofloxacin 250twice daily for five days. I'm on day 3 and no change, it's still huge!!!as you can imagine jumping into my chair is a right laugh. Has anyone else been prescribed ciprofloxacin for this? How long did it take to clear up? Or has anyone had the surgery? Thanks.

I had to have surgery for mine ...... it keep getting bigger and bigger in that case bigger is not better. I hope the meds work for you. Good luck.

is it caused by an infection? If not then the cipro will do nothing! Start googling other causes!

Shrunk a bit but still to big. Think I may have to go see doctor again.
Googled it and looks like I may have to have it drained?? Looks fun!!!
