Swollen testicle with mild pain Posted: 04-26-08 12:12pm
I am a married man, age 40. About 2 days
ago I started feeling mild discomfort in
my left testicle. I noticed the following
morning that the testicle was swollen and
very tender to the touch, in particular on
the rear side. (Not chronic pain just
enough to annoy me) I did a self exam and
do not feel any mass/tumor or veins, just
that the left testicle is enlarged and
painful to the touch. I applied ice and
the swelling went down. This morning I
woke up without any pain but the testicle
was again swollen. As the day progressed
the mild pain has returned but again, only
when the area is touched. Today I took an
anti-inflammatory medication I take for a
back problem and again, the swelling has
subsided. The issue seems to be improving
but is still continuing.
I should add that I did receive a light
blow to the groin when playing with my
children the other day.
I am mildly sexually active only with my
wife (about 2 times a month) and I do
masturbate frequently at times (sometimes
2 times per day).
