So i've been having pain in my groin and testicles, lower abdomen, as well as what feels like the upper part of my thigh. I went to the doctor and he diagnosed a hydrocele in my left testicle. He put me on antibiotics and ibuprofin for the pain and swelling. Well the pain is still there, and i can feel what seems to be a swollen vein on the testicle itself, not the sac or epididymis. It's not a lump, or atleast if it is it hasnt reached the size most people say they find them at. I was wondering first off, if it is a hydrocele, can that manifest any symptoms that would relate to what i have found. Also, how long does it take for a lump to form to its full size?
