Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Painful lump in testis indicates infection called 'orchitis'. It needs to be cured by administration of antibiotics and analgesics.
Alcohol may not be directly linked to the disorder but should abstain from it during the course of treatment.
However, if it doesn't subside, then a Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) has to be done to confirm the diagnosis.
Kindly visit Surgeon for proper evaluation and management.
All the best.
