Is his swollen testicle my fault?

[Pam09111963]

This morning I noticed my husband's right testicle is swollen - it is definitely larger than his left.  History lesson:  I guess you could say my husband enjoys a bit of S&M as he enjoys some pain.  I often hold his scrotum in my hand and gently squeeze his testicle with ever increasing intensity - until I'm really squeezing it pretty hard.  I haven't done this in the past week or two, but when I touched him this morning I noticed the difference in size.  I'd suggest maybe I bruised him last time, but as I said, I'm pretty sure I haven't done this recently enough.

My question:  I'm wondering what the swelling could mean...if it's 'common'...if it will go away...???  He said it's not painful...

Pam:

Sure, you may have bruised or irritated his testicle; however, no one can answer questions about a medical condition without a thorough physical examination. If your husband's swelling persists, he should see his doctor because there are several conditions that might be the cause other than just rough handling. If you want to ask this question of a urologist, repost in the Urology Expert Forum:
