Question 1

my testicle was swollen and disappeared.what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Torsion: If you had a painful swollen testicle and didn't seek medical attention and now you're left with a squishy nubbin, you likely had torsion.   Nothing you can do about it now.

Question 2

my 13 month old son has a swollen testicle. what should i do for him?

Accepted Answer

Need eval: The potential causes of scrotal swelling in a 13 mo can range from simple fluid accumulation to a hernia or worse.If it is the testis, an exam and testing if needed is appropriate to rule out something that can result in injury or loss of this structure.

Question 3

i have a right swollen testicle. i'm only 17 years of age. is it dangerous ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: If you have severe pain in the testicle you need to go to the emergency room now as it could be a torsion and you are at risk of losing the testicle. Otherwise you could have a possible infection or other problem. See your doctor to have testing done- probably a urine analysis and ultrasound.

Question 4

swollen testicle on one side the swollen testicle is about the size of a baseball

Accepted Answer

Please : Please be seen for this.  Possible causes for swelling include: varicocele, epididymitis, hydrocele, torsion, orchitis just to mention. Lumps or swelling in the scrotum should be evaluated by a doctor.

Question 5

i sit on my testicle while i was working out , now it's swollen, hard and very painful , what is it ?

Accepted Answer

Painfull testicle: Sounds like traumatic irritation to the testicle. Try fluids, NSAID, elevating (tight underwear or supporter), also use cool compress.  If problem persists, see a urologist or your physician.

Question 6

i had a spermatocele removed on 7/17/17  is it normal for the testicle to be swollen double the size of the other one?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: This definitely is not "normal" following surgery. I would guess you have a hematoma, i.e. bleeding at the surgical site, perhaps now with some inflammation due to the blood. If not especially painful, probably not serious. But you shouldn't be trying to sort this out on this or any other distant forum. Contact the doctor who did the surgery!

Question 7

hi

i'd like some advice on what to do, i have a problem with my right testicle as it is swollen and in a lot of pain.

regards?

Accepted Answer

Possible emergency: Torsion or twisted testis must be excluded if pain developed suddenly. This is an emergency as blood supply to testis is cut off. Epididymitis &amp;/or orchitis are painful inflammatory conditions with swelling of testis. Onset of pain is slower than with torsion. All cases of acute onset of testicular pain must be considered ae torsion until proven otherwise in Emergency Room. Good Luck.

Question 8

my 16 year old son is experiencing pain in his left testicle. it is slightly swollen and the pain seems to be worsening. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Have him evaluated: If the pain is gradual in onset it is likely infected &amp; may require specific antibiotic treatment depending on the cause. If the pain was sudden he needs to be seen immediately.

Question 9

been test positive for ghonorea only other test neg testicle swollen got 400g fixme how long should i wait before cured if fixme is working?

Accepted Answer

2 weeks: If you were treated for gonorrhea, then you must not have intercourse with anyone until it is confirmed that you are cured.  A followup culture two week later would be appropriate.  Your partner(s) must also be treated.

Question 10

i have a slight uncomfortable pain above my right testicle it started 2 days ago i think and last night i feelt the tubing then it got a bit swollen ?

Accepted Answer

Answer: If the pain is in the back of the testicle without history of injury, most likely cause is epididymitis, which can often be diagnosed in a doctor's office by a simple urine test.  Another common cause in young men for this type of discomfort is a varicocele, which is non infectious.  Avoid heavy lifting, treat constipation/coughing as these things could increase the pressure and worsen the pain
