Question 1

i have ed and i noticed i have swollen tube on right testicle feels like a small third testicle and hurts to touch can this cause my ed?

Accepted Answer

Not likely.: This something in your scrotum will not cause ed, but it needs evaluation.  Could be any one of a number of things.  Best to see someone and get it checked out since it could cause problems down the road.

Question 2

i have a sharp pain in my right testicle and it has got swollen . i'm fairly sure the tube leading to it is not twisted what should i do?

Accepted Answer

This needs eval: There is really no way you can figure out what this is without an examination. It could be painful and swollen due to trauma, fluid build up (hydrocele), inflammation (orchitis), or many other causes. If the pain was only mild, you could take an OTC pain reliever and wear an athletic supporter for 2-3 days, but if pain is sudden/severe you need evaluation now. Stay well:)

Question 3

ive been experiencing pain in left testicle and i feel something swollen on the tube or i dont know what its called. its above the testicle not on it. and its hurts sometimes especially when im sexually aroused. it goes away and comes somtime?

Accepted Answer

: It sounds like you may have epididymitis, an infection that generally requires but is easily treated with antibiotics. You need a testicular ultrasound to diagnose and rule out rare but more serious problems. With the holiday weekend upon us, your best bet is to go to an urgent care or emergency department today. You will feel much better if you deal with this now.

Question 4

what does it mean if the veins/tubes connected to the testicle are"swollen", have slight veiny lumps near the testicle?

Accepted Answer

Varicocele: That sounds like a varicocele, which  is typically described as feeling like "a bag of worms".  

It is very common and generally not a problem unless it interferes with fertility.  

But it should be checked by your doctor to confirm.

Question 5

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 6

the tube above my right testicle suddenly swell up with some pain. it went away for a few days now, but the tube is somehow slightly larger.  should i be concerned or will it go away?

Accepted Answer

Varicocele?: What you are experiencing is most-likely (pending confirmation by your primary physician) a case of Varicocele: varicose (enlarged) testicular veins. These veins carry blood from that region up towards the heart and, like all leg veins, can become engorged with slow moving blood, especially in young men due to frequent sexual arousal. Very common condition with little negative impact.
