Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i understand your concern for your husband.
From your description,on the right side, he has an inguinal hernia.
Above the testis, there's a painless swelling,which may reduce on sleeping,
and become prominent,on standing or coughing.
This's easily diagnosed on examination by any surgeon.
He'll need to be examined by an Urologist, for prostate gland enlargement.
If you've any other doubt, you may send it as a direct question,to me.
