General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of you being 23, 6'2 and 11.2 stone, no history of serious illness except a chicken pox infection when i was 7 and mumps last year. You have small lump on my right testis. It has been there two years. You had it checked last year and Doctor said it was just a harmless growth, but today its started to hurt.
Yes this is a thing to worry about.
This can be due to the torsion of that small lymph if it has a stalk.
This can be confirmed by ultrasound and color doppler examinations and may need a small surgery if it is not connected to the epididymis or testis to be on a safe side.
Get operated if indicated to avoid recurrence.
If the pain is related to infection, then the obvious treatment will depend upon the proper coverage by antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines. You also need a good scrotal support.
