Sore and Swollen Testicle?!


Question:

Sore and Swollen Testicle?

I was at work this afternoon then without notice I received a dull throbbing pain in my left testicle, the pain is also in the groin area above the testicle. After an hour of this my left nut has grown say 4 times as big as the other, I can't remember hurting it in any way. I will be off to the doc tomorrow but just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and what was the outcome.


Answers:

It sounds as though you have a hydrocele, which is water on the testicle, this can make them swell up to the size of footballs. I have seen a case before, where one elderly gentleman's testicles were so swollen and huge they were almost impossible to lift. You can imagine the size of two soccer balls, well that's what can happen. You could have had a bump or an infection of some kind without knowing it. Good luck at the Dr's.
