Could experiencing a transient fever and generalized weakness after attempting to self-drain a scrotal lump indicate a serious localized or systemic infection requiring urgent medical evaluation?
Attempting to drain a lump in such a sensitive area can unfortunately introduce bacteria, and experiencing a fever and weakness suggests your body might be fighting off an infection. It is very important that you have a doctor evaluate this as soon as possible to ensure it doesn't spread or become more serious. Please visit an urgent care or emergency room today so they can safely examine you and provide the right treatment, which may include antibiotics.
