I know someone who had something similar and it was Hydrocele. Maybe it's that?

With intense pain and swelling you should go in and get it checked.

[pixie374]

No... but please just get it checked x

[dannyk13]

If the pain is unbearable why aren't you at A & E ?

[cashier]

Might be epididymus, you need to go to hospital to find out.

[andres]

Could be epididymitis. OH had this many years ago. He was given antibiotics. Go to A&E .

[ummmm]

I'd go to A&E or even the walk in clinic if your hospital has one.

[Sqad]

I agree with Andres.....15.31.

[pumpjack]

pain going into stomach now
need stand up to get relief
cant lie down
did not hurt this or pull this , it just came on
testical like a stone now, before it was fleshy
urine red and dark brown

will chemist sell antibiotics ?

[dannyk13]

pumpjack, get yourself to A & E.

[anneasquith]

No. Go to A&E.

[Mamyalynne]

Jack follow the advice given.

[andres]

Maybe you could try using a truss if your testicle will fit into one.Chemist will probably sell them but I don't know about anti-biotics. Then get yourself off to the hospital. They might be able to give you an injection for the pain.

[calmck]

Could be testicular torsion. A and E urgently or you might lose it!!

Seems like epididymitis.

Darling, you need to see a medic pronto.

I had a similar swelling a few years ago, get to hospital ASAP , to hell with embarrassment.

While many of my answers on AB are based upon research, rather than knowledge or experience, this is one time that it's definitely a case of experience for me.

Nearly 50 years ago (when I was still a student) I woke up on Boxing Day with the same symptoms that you're describing. (i.e. the smaller of my two testicles had suddenly become far, far bigger than the other one and it hurt like hell!).

I later apologised to a doctor for calling him out on Boxing Day but his response was "Don't worry about it. I've had what you've got and I know how much it hurts. I'd be seeking help as soon as possible if I was in your position too".

The condition is called orchitis, which you can learn more about here:

The doctor provided me with antibiotics (straight from his bag, with no need to visit a pharmacy) and pain-killing tablets (also straight from his bag). Those tablets were so strong that he insisted upon calling my mother in as a witness to the fact that he'd warned me that exceeding the stated dose would lead to certain death. I don't know what they were (although my guess is that they were some form of morphine) but taking just a single tablet quickly numbed the whole of my body in the same way that a dental anaesthetic numbs a gum. (i.e. you could have stuck a pin in any part of my body and I wouldn't have felt it).

I felt a lot better as soon as the painkiller started working and I was fully fit again within a couple of days.

Get some treatment for it now!
