See a physician: You could have an infection in the testicle or epididymis which could cause the swelling. This can be treated with antibiotics. Less likely would be testicular torsion or twisting of the testicle, which would require surgery. After 4 hours of torsion, it is unlikely that the testicle could be saved.

Hi whenever I wear tight pants or boxers my left testicle is against the bottom of my pants and sometimes it gets firm and rarely sore but if I sleep in loose clothing it goes away. No lumps or anything. Some people say it's achy ball syndrome. Any ideas?
