Swollen Testie
by Jon__0, Dec 16, 1998 12:00AM
My Left Testicle is swollen and there is a big black and blue mark on it. There is some mild pain at rest and more when running,etc.. Please use ENGLISH words not the doctor type.

Thanks Jon for your question.
Multiple differential diagnosis can be made over the internet; Testicular trauma with bruising , a varicocele ( a varicose vein of the testicular cord ), a normal vein of the scrotal wall and a hydrocele ( a fluid filled sac around the testicle ) , or possibily a torsed appendix testes ( a twisted tag of tissue which normally projects from the testicle). You understand we can not make a diagnosis over the internet and recommend you see a doctor so he can examine the scrotal contents.
More individualized care is available at the Henry Ford Hospital and its urban campuses by calling (1 800 653 6568). We can also arrange local accommodations through this number if this is your need. Please bring any physicians’ notes and lab test results that you may be able to obtain. These will help us greatly.
