Epididymoorchitis:Residual cord thicken

History: * Phase 1 (March 18): Started on Tab Faropenem and Enzomac. Condition worsened; swelling increased and high fever developed. ​Phase 2 (March 22 - March 28): Hospitalized/Put on IV Antibiotics (Ceftriaxone & Amikacin) for 6 days. Fever subsided and swelling began to improve. ​Phase 3 (Late March/Early April): Transitioned to Tab Zifi 200mg (Cefixime) for 7 days and Enzomac Plus for 10 days. ​The Gap: Following doctor's advice, stopped all meds for about 10 days. However, dull pain while walking persisted. ​Current Status (Last few days): Re-consulted doctor. On palpation, he noted a "thickened cord" but confirmed testicle size is now normalized/identical to the left. ​Current Meds: Restarted Zifi 200mg and Enzomac for a 10-day course. ​Symptoms: ​No fever (96.4°F). No back pain. ​Sharp, localized pain in the spermatic cord (inguinal area), specifically where the doctor pressed. ​Pain is positional: It vanishes when lying flat with legs elevated but "zaps" when lifting the legs

Penile Curvature and testicular issue

Hi, I have penile curvature and am not sure if it is too severe for sexual intercourse. I have no pain during erection but will it cause pain during sex? Also my left testicle is lower than my right testicle (about 1 inch difference). Is this okay? I noticed this change when I switched from briefs to boxers and played sports in high school. Please see attached images for reference. Thanks

Corona swelling

Hi Doctor, will you please check attached image and also zoom it for proper examination. My foreskin outermost tip looked like sticked with the shaft due to some swelling behind glans or corona. Will you please check and let me know this disease name and also if you have any cream/ointment treatment for reducing the swelling and freeing the outermost foreskin to cover glans again. I am ready to connect you but need some basic understanding here also if you have seen such cases before or not like this?
