Should I be concerned about my testicle discomfort?
Patient's Query
Hi, I’m 15 years old, and I’ve been having some discomfort in my left testicle. It feels a bit bigger than the right one, and it seems to move around more in my scrotum. I don’t feel any lumps, but it feels like there might be some swelling. I’m not sure if this is normal or something I should be worried about. The other day after sleeping to the side with my pillow between my legs i woke up to my left testicle being very hard, probably because it was crushed a bit during the sleep as it moves and pushes to the scrotum wall next to the penis. I didn’t experience pain urinating I’ve noticed it for a few days now. It doesn’t hurt all the time, but it’s a bit uncomfortable, especially when I’m moving around or if my legs are close together. There’s no pain in my abdomen, and I don’t think there have been any major changes, but I’m just not sure.
Answered by Dr. Neeta Verma
You might be having an ailment called hydrocele which is when there is a fluid build-up around the testicle and it gets to be swollen. This could result in one of the testicles feeling bigger than the other and being able to move around more freely. The way you sleep creates pressure on the testicle may be why the discomfort is worse. It's crucial to have a check-up with a urologist to be sure and get the right treatment.
