What Causes Swollen Testicle With Pain In Lower Left Abdomen?

My left testicle has a swollen feeling below and behind it that is feels hard to touch. Also, there is pain present above my testicle next to and above my penis, as well as in my lower left abdomen. I've had the pain for over 24 hours and have masturbated twice, hoping it may have been dead and clotted sperm, but to no avail. Instead, there was blood in my seamen both times. After a nights sleep the pain took a while to come back, though it is not as acute, though I have not masturbated today so that could be due to lack of aggravation. Any Ideas as to what may be wrong?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are having epididymo-orchitis which is the inflammation of testes and testicular tubes, I would like to know is there any burning when you pass urine? or is there any redness? or did you had unprotected sex?
Most of the times the cause of epididymo-orchitis is lower urinary tract infection. I would recommend you to get your scrotal ultrasound done along with complete urine exam and in the meanwhile I would start you on antibiotic from Quinolone group for 5 days and NSAIDs for pain and inflammation control.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
