I Have Testicle That Has Grown To About Three Times The Size Of My Other Testicle

I am 70 years old, and for the last year one of my testicles has grown to about three times the size of my other testicle. Should I be worried? I am in good health, and had a double hernia operation via my abdomen about four years ago. Your help will be appreciated.

Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

I am thinking of maybe a hydrocoele or fluid in the testis. This is caused by infection or blockage in the lymphatic system. I would suggest getting a scrotal ultrasound to determine for sure the cause of your swelling because a recurrent hernia is not unheard of.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes
