Hi,

So throwaway for some obvious reasons. Also quick warning this may be a bit TMI for some people although nothing dramatic at all.

Basically I have Chlamydia and yes I am aware that's not the end of the world. However I have a few questions:

I developed some swelling around my groin and into my testicles however this subsided and I now have a sort of lump on the base of my left testicle. Its not however particularly hard and it doesn't feel completely attached. The best way I could describe it is of like a swelling of the tubes that are attached to the testicle?

I have had 2 courses of antibiotics. First one was for a bladder infection (I was misdiagnosed). Second one was for Chlamydia and was Azithromycin 4 250mg tablets at once and then 2 day a for 4 days. 12 in total.

Needless to say that should wipe out basically any kind of bacterial infection. 

What is concerning is that the swelling has gone down but I still have this small lump thing and it is freaking me out. The doctor already told me that i may have reduced fertility as a result although they would be hopeful as my right testicle is absolutely fine.

Can someone who has had this happen or who is a doctor help me out!? Before anyone says anything I have already been to the doctor so its not as though I haven't done that but they are unsure and to be honest have actually been very poor throughout this process.

Also I have already informed my other sexual partners and tehy have been treated before anyone suggests that.

Also I finished the antibiotics on Friday

Also just to add I never displayed any symptoms, i.e. discharge, pain etc other than the swelling and now this small lump.

Would REALLY appreciate any help with this.
