Question 1

i am feeling pain in my left testicle, it started around 10 this morning and still continue, i noticed the left testicle is swollen, very sensitive and painful to the touch?

Accepted Answer

Testis pain = see Dr: Testicle pain means a trip to the doctor right away because a testicle's blood supply can be twisted off (called torsion). When that happens, the testicle can die. Other causes of testicle pain include trauma, infection, twisting of an appendix of a testicle (a small lump next to a testicle), etc. Since one usually cannot tell if his testicle is twisted, an exam by a clinic or ER doctor is needed.

Question 2

i have small like marks in the crease right under my left testicle that have joined together to form on sack! very painful to touch and swollen, what ?

Accepted Answer

You need Medical att: It seems to me that you have infection in the area under your testicles. You should go see a physician, PCP or Urologist, ASAP and let them examine and decide if you need antibiotics or any additional local intervention based on their diagnosis.

Question 3

tenderness in the left testicle, slightly swollen, very painful. why could this be happening?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor today: The pain you are describing warrants a visit to urgent care or an emergency department. Severe pain is always concerning, and you don't want to ignore this problem. Good luck.

Question 4

my left testicle is very swollen. it started earlier today and swelling has increased throughout day. pressure makes it painful to the touch and it is very red. i'm just wondering if i should go in to e.r. or wait and see if it decreases?

Accepted Answer

: Do not wait, you should have it diagnosed and managed appropriately and promptly.

Question 5

very light pain on both sides of scrotum  with veins on left side feeling swollen and bunched and sometimes going under testicle! help please.

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: It sounds like possible a condition called a varicocele, which is a swelling of the veins in the scrotum.  There are however more serious issues that need to be ruled out, such as testicular torsion.  This depends on if this is a chronic condition or if happening for the first time today.  If happening just now, go get immediate medical attention.

Question 6

swollen left side of scrotum. testicles are normal only the scrotal skin. itchy. could it be angeoedema? could it be life threatening?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: It is hard to give you an exact diagnosis. Angioedema would cause the marked marked swelling, itching can be allergic response or infection. It is important to see your family physician very soon to make the diagnosis and get you better before things get worse.

Question 7

10 days post opp on double left inguinal hernia, my left testicle is three times its normal size and the tubes swollen and painful is this normal ?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Swelling after hernia surgery commonly affects the cord structures to the testicle ; the testicle itself. Bruising can be seen too. I cannot tell if the swelling that you describe is normal for you without an exam. Call your surgeon ; discuss with them as to what you should do.

Question 8

i had a inguinal hernia repair 4 weeks ago.(left side) my testicle is still swollen and  a odd shape and very tender to touch. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Could be: any number of things such as hematoma, orchitis, or just plain post operative swelling.  You need to show it to your surgeon.

Question 10

why is my husbands left testicle swollen and soar?

Accepted Answer

Many causes.: Swelling of the testicle itself can be caused by infection or by the appearance of cancer. Swelling of the scrotum, which houses the testicles, is much more common. Fluid can build up around the testicle, such as in a hydrocele or spermatocele. Dilated blood vessels called varicoceles can also enlarge the scrotum. If you have this problem, please see your physician or urologist for an examination.
