Yes, this is a very serious issue. An increase in size of a testicle is one of the signs of testicular cancer (one testicle is normally larger then the other but the size and shape should remain more or less the same). I don't want to scare you, but you should get it check out by a specialist called a urologist.

Aha. I see.

The rate at which cancer spreads will depend from person to person. If you suspect that anything is wrong, though, I would again urge you to seek medical advice. A diagnosis can certainly put your mind to rest!
