What Causes Tenderness In The Testicle?
I have only one testicle. I am 82 yrs old. Several weeks ago I noticed that my testicle was soft and mushy. I had prostate cancer when I was in my fifties and had prostate removal surgery then. I intend to see a doctor soon about this. However, I am concerned I may have cancer. ds (written by my wife ls for me)

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Tenderness in the testis, what you are experiencing, could be due to the following:
1. Infection of the testis.
2. Secondaries in the testis due to the spread of prostate cancer.
You need to undergo certain investigations like scrotal scan and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to diagnose what might be the cause for it.
Kindly consult a urologist for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
