What Is The Reason For Sore To Touch, Painful And Swollen Right Testicle Occured Suddenly?

Hello my name is Chris and yesterday I went on a three mile run and shortly after I returned from my run my right testicle started to hurt and feel as if it were swelling up and since I was at work I didn't have the chance to look at it right away, once I finally got home I examined it and noticed that it was significantly larger than my left. It was also sore to touch, I guess my question is what may be the cause of this and should I go see a doctor in person or should I wait a couple of days?
Thank you
Chris

Hello Chris .
Thanks for the query to HCM.
Sudden swelling after three miles walk may be due to.
1 Epididmo-orchitis i.e. inflammation of testis , this is most common cause , so consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination is important.
2 Trauma due to walk you may got injury as testes are very delcate and soft structure so very prone to injury. Take rest for 2-3 days and massage with ice . Simple tylenol like tablet will provide relief.
If swelling and pain increase consult a physician .
If after rest swelling and pain reduces , wait for 2-3 days.
Good luck.
