My testicle is swelling up. What can be the reason?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Your description of symptoms is suggestive of orchitis (inflammation of testis) or swelling of testicle. Or inguinal hernia on the right side of hydrocele.

• If there is pain and redness, it is orchitis or if the swelling increases during coughing and reduces on lying down, it is likely to be a hernia.

• If the swelling feels like a bag of water, it is likely to be hydrocele.

• In all three cases, it is advisable that you see a surgeon soon. Even though, you feel it is not urgent, it could turn into emergency if it gets complicated.

• It is a common problem and there is nothing to be shy about. The surgeon will be able to help you in all cases. Take care.
