<s>[INST] i am having pain in my left testicle and groin. I have been to emergency twice. I have had two ultra sounds done. One ultrasound found an iguinal hernia and another found a Varicocele. Also found inflamation in the Epididitmis. hence the antibiotic i think. i had a surgery done where they went in through my belly button with a camera and the uroloigist said that they felt neither was in need for sugery. I have been on antibiotics for 11 days already but the pain is still there. The pain is somewhat tolerable if i laydown and do nothing but never goes away. [/INST] Greetings. I understand your concern. Most probably your pain could have been because of hernia getting partly obstructed and ending up in casualty. I hope that was repaired, and you are free of hernia now. Coming to the second reason for pain is of epididymis infection. Even if you take antibiotics for 2 to 3 weeks the pain may not subside as the infection may not be corrected completely. There may be associated testis and prostatic involvement which might need prolonged antimicrobial treatment. A urology consultation will help you in confirming the pain and continuing antibiotics. So I suggest you to take an expert opinion. Hope my answer helps you. Regards </s>
