What causes swelling in my left testicle?
Patient: I have problem with my left testis. Both of my testis were of equal size but suddenly one day my left testis become swollen and have lot of pain but slowley the pain get reduced but size didn't. Sometimes i feel that size has reduced and after sometimes i feel the it has been increased not sure why is it happening? The problem persist from a long time. It would be around from last 10 years. Not sure how to approach a doctor because i am very shy kind of guy. IF you can help me thru online then it would be great. Doctor: Hi,  You need to consult a urologist directly and get a direct check-up at the earliest. In torsion of testis, you may lose your testis. The second reason could be an infection.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. B. Radhakrishnan. Nair, OBGYN
