Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history and concerns.
Since you are 54 years old and have enlarged testis without any problems and is solid without much feeling on pushing, the most probable reason may be a hydrocele. In this condition there is a fluid accumulation in hte sac that envelops the testis.
Blood tests helps us decide that you do not have any medical problems.
I would advise you the following:
Get an ultrasonography of the scrotum done to get the proper diagnosis and to get a plan for treatment.
Getting a proper diagnosis is very important.
Also get a clinical evaluation done by a General Surgeon or an Urologist and to get a plan for further treatment.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you need to or if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
