Q: Scrotal Pain...

My left testicle started to feel soar yesterday. It was either yesterday or the day before that I remember as I was changing I noticed pain after taking my shorts off. I was sort of in a hurry and removed the shorts without unbuckling my belt. I'm not sure if that was the culprit or not, but when I took a shower earlier today I noticed that my blood vessels had been enlarged and a fluid-filled sac. I experienced some pain while touching and examining it. While in a relaxed state the pain subdues, unless further provoked.

So I did a little online reasearch and discovered:

varicocele: this doesn't seem to be the case because it is said that it doesn't cause any amount of pain, although in a worse case scenerio pain is presentable.

Hydrocele, which is most common in children, sounds possible because it discusses a sac-like fluid buildup.

I looked around at hernia and torsional strain, but at this point, i'm not exactly sure.

I will make a doctors appointment after discussing with parents, the fun part.

It sounds like your testes may have gotten switched around. This is extremely dangerous and you should get to the doctors as quickly as possible if that is indeed what it is. Let them stay like this to long and they will no longer function properly.

Well i'm grateful they aren't. My testes are in the correct order, because my right testicle has always been larger than my left and that is where it still is.

I am also grateful to let everyone know that the swelling has dramatically reduced.

Good, they may have just been temporarily switched around, and then went back; that is really pretty common. Glad to hear your doing better!
