General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your age of 19- young and energetic, getting pain in the left testicle on workouts.
The commonest causes of such a pain at your age are:
- Partial testicular torsion
- Varicocele
- Occasional case of epididymoorchitis.

I would advise you the following:
Get a clinical examination done by a General Surgeon or an Urologist.
Ultrasonography and color doppler examination of the scrotum.
Tests of blood, urine and stool.

Apply scrotal support,
Treatment will be as per the findings.
IF varicocele- surgical correction.
If Repeated torsion, simple fixing.
Wish you all the best for early diagnosis and proper curative treatment.
