Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Testicles

Posted on Tue, 22 Sep 2015

Question: From last 15 years, my right testicle is bit larger than my left one but it never caused me any trouble. Very rarely i used to have a slight pain but that was very rare and very mild pain. I'm 26 now and a month back, i touched my right testicle and noticed a lump like thing at the bottom of it. It is not visible from outside. After carefully rolling my hand around that area, i felt it was a nerve which was swollen and was feeling like a lump when touched. I also noticed over the next few days that when my scrotum skin is bit relaxed, that swollen nerve/vein is not that much felt with hand, but when the scrotum skin is not relaxed like in general times, i can very clearly feel that nerve when touched. Sometimes, it feels so hard and sometimes i can hardly feel that when i touch that place. I also figured out that few veins in the testicular area are quite eminent and i could feel them from outside when touched. I am not having any problems as such with this. Sometimes a mild pain in the right testicle, but that's sometimes and it just come and go. I am taking homeopathy medicines from last one month for this, but it's still the same and i can feel that swollen vein.MY father is a doctor and he said it might happen because of nerve or blood flow issue. I masturbate on a daily basis. So does that has to do anything with this? Sometimes it feels very swollen and sometimes not at all. Kindly tell me what is this? I hope it's not cancer or anything serious. I'm really worried about this.
