Brief Answer:
Likely to have Hydrocele .Needs to investigate

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your Left testicle is larger than the Right one .The swelling of the testicle without pain and fever could be mostly due to either Varicocele or Hydrocele which needs to be confirmed by clinical examination and certain tests as detailed below

Consult qualified General surgeon or Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic test done to confirm the diagnosis .
1) Urine routine and urine culture
2) Ultrasound Scanning of Scrotum
3) Color Doppler study of Scrotum .

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you

Please tell me is there any side effects with hydrocele and is there any imapct on penis incremental since it is not enlarging when i want to particiapte in sex. And also please tell me is there any serious problem? Will it require immediate treatment or can i do it after a while?

Brief Answer:
If you delay surgery Hydrocele will increase in size

Hello Thanks for follow up .

Delaying surgery will increase in size of the Hydrocele ,

The surgery will not affect your sexual potency neither it will create any problem in preforming sex or size of the penis etc .

Thanks and Regards.
