Pain in left testicle

[zzkka]

Hello and thank you for helping me with this issue.  My husband is 37 years old and in good shape but he has been experiencing some pain in his left testicle for more then 5 weeks.  The pain is getting worst, there is no inflammation or redness around the affected area.  Could this be testicular cancer?
Please HELP!!

Thank you

Hi
Thanks for the post!

Pain in testicle could be due to infection, like prostatitis, epididymitis or orchitis. Get a culture sensitivity test for both semen and urine done. Only orchitis will present with some redness and swelling in the testicular area. Also it could be due to referred pain of kidney stones. An ultrasound of the lower abdomen will be able to rule out kidney stones. It could be due to cancer of testis. It could be due to varicocele or spermatocele. An ultrasound of the testicles will diagnose cancer, varicocele and spermatocele.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. You should see an urologist regarding this. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Not all pains are testicular cancer. A ultrasound could clear the doubt of cancer. The best thing is to consult a urologist.
