What Causes A Marble Sized Lump On The Testicle?

I have a marble sized hard lump on top of my right testicle. It has been there for about 15 years I have went to 3 different doctors and they all just said it was an infection and gave me an antibiotic but it never went away. Now it is painful to touch and sitting down and even wearing pants is uncomfortable. Any ideas what it might be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of hard swelling on right testcle for 15 years, went to three different Doctors who said this to NE infection and gave you antibiotics. But now it is painful making even pant to be put on.
As per the history you have provided this looks to be cyst of some sort and twist or sudden enlargement is causing the symptoms.
Infection can not sustain for a long period of 15 years as by this time it would have opened up forming a sinus.
I would advise you the following:
Consult am Urologist.
Ultrasonography with color Doppler will give the most proper diagnosis and surgery may cure your problem.
Get this done asap to avoid any complication.
