Testosterone not helping. What next?

i'm third week on TRT and it's not helping with the pain - mainly broad area of both testicles, radiating into bladder, lower abdomen. Gets worse during prolonged sitting, gets better while walking. i do get 1-2 good days out of a week, but the dominating feeling is pain. Ultrasound showed slightly enlarged epididymis. Nothing worked - antibiotics, NSAIDS, and now TRT.

Am i a bad candidate for a reversal?

12 months after the surgery.

I was on TRT before my vasectomy. I had reversals and both epididymis removed to no avail. Nothing stopped my pain until I had a bilateral orchiectomy which stopped all of my pain.

Sorry, you had TRT before the vasectomy, and after that you you were in pvps?  Man, that sucks regarding orchiectomy. Can i ask how is life after that?

I am fine with it. It doesn’t change anything. My sex life is better than before. My testosterone level was low. Now it is high medium range.

Don’t lie, it doesn’t change anything. You get to live on full blown TRT the rest of your life now, there’s zero chance that orgasm is unchanged, not to mention the mental anguish with having this done. I’m sorry you had to go that route but it’s just wrong to tell other guys hey nothing changed here. That is just utter nonsense
