Suddenly Swollen Testicles A Side Effect???

Hi

My guy is almost 2 years on combined androgen therapy...Decapeptyl and Enzaluramide...being given at the very early stages of (met to just one lymph node) as part of a trial. 

He has been doing great (see profile) but this morning he noticed his totally shrunk testicles have greatly swollen up since yesterday. They are not painful but they are uncomfortable, and fairly warm to touch. 

Has anybody else had this? Wondering if it's an infection or a side effect. There are no lumps as such. Seeing one of his oncology team tomorrow anyway so they will refer him.wherever he needs to go. Anything he can do in the meantime??

Never heard of this. It is convenient that you are seeing the onco tomorrow.

I guess it's probably nothing to do with PCa...but one always worries!

My only thought is possible lymphodema? Is it just one testicle, both testicles or the whole area?
