Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
There are many reasons for increase in size of testis. The common one are:
1. Infection-mostly associated with pain and discomfort
2. Hydrocele: Fluids collects inside the scrotum between layers covering testis
3. Hernia: when ever there is some weakness in muscles of lower abdomen the intestine try to protrude through it in that area, some times this extends in to scrotum.
You have to consult a doctor-preferably general surgeon/urologist for examination. After examination you may be asked some investigations like ultrasound to have proper diagnosis.
Please do not ignore and consult a doctor.
I hope this helps you in taking and informed decision.
Regards,
Dr.Pragnesh
