A member asked:

Occasionally my left testical will swell up and get kinda of painful, it lasts no more than 4 days tops before going back to normal. any ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need scrotal sonogra: There are few possibilities, you may have varicocele (swelling of veins) , hydrocele ( wat -er) , or bell clapper deformity causing intermittent twisting of the testicle. You should see a urologist for physical examination and a sonogram of the scrotal area.
