Hi,You need not worry too much about testicular cancer. Testicular cancer usually presents as a swelling or hard mass in testis. This can usually be found by gently palpating the testis. There are some other conditions which cause pain in testis.These include intermittent testicular torsion (rotation of testis) and infection.Do you have any pain while passing urine? If so, this can be suggestive of an infection.Is there any swelling in testis?You need to get yourself examined by a Urologist and if needed, you will have to get urine microscopy and scrotal ultrasonogram.I am available to guide you further if you need any clarification. Wish you a speedy recovery and good health,Dr. Raguram.
