My testicle has swollen up to size of kiwi. i've had epidymitis before. is this a repeat of the same condition or possiblypossibly cancer?

Anything possible.: Testicle of that size needs to be seen by a urologist soon. Epididimytis is usually causes pain, other most common cause is a cystocele . A sonogram is important

Epididymitis /orchit: Orchitis means inflammation of testicle. The beginning part of epididymis is at the back and upper pole of the testes .Ur problem could be still the recurrence of epididymitis or orchitis as the the infection can spred to the adjacent organ. It is good to be tested by a surgeon before coming to any conclusions about cancer and all. Condition called seminoma testes, a malignancy arising in young +.

Swollen Testicle: Testicular cancer risk peaks in your 30's. It is typically a painless hard nodule found on the testicle. Swelling of the testicle or orchitis can be due to trauma, infectious, noninfectious or twisted tubes to the testicle. I suggest you see your family physician and get it properly evaluated.

See dr: Most likely at your age and with your history is not cancer though the age for terstocular cancer is 15-35. It usually presents with a mass that is hard and often spiny feeling, though not always painful. Your case sounds more inflammatory in nature, but in any case deserves a visit to the doctor!
