Hi I'm 16 and for the past week I've had some discomfort in my left testicle. It's not extremely sore but it can be awkward when I cross my legs and such and it will occasionally flare up. I had a look and found a very small sort of bump. Upon feeling it I can almost feel as if it's like a small 'air bubble', because it feels hollow. It is not the bump itself which feels sore, but the tubes/veins that lead into my scrotum most of the time but sometimes it's not a specific discomfort and is spread across the whole testicle.
Last year I had testicular torsion (your testicles don't get any blood going to them because they are twisted, causing them to swell up) which was resolved. I think from as far as I can tell, this little bump has been there for a while, because I remember feeling something like it (or similar) a few weeks after my operation. I ignored it and I'm hoping this is the same bump I am feeling, in which case I would hope it is benign, because if anything was wrong the doctors who gave me the operation would have noticed so and I only saw this bump after the operation, so I believed it was possibly a side effect from it.
I'm concerned it may have to do with my masturbation habits. Currently I masturbate around 1-2 times a day and I'm wondering if maybe I am 'pulling' to hard that it is hurting my testicle. I will admit that yesterday, when I had not masturbated, my testicle felt a little better and I thought it was hopefully going to go down. But, unfortunately, I masturbated that night and I think it might've caused the pain to come back. I don't notice anything wrong with my semen. Does masturbation cause soreness in the tubes/testicles?
A few weeks back this boy at my school hit me very hard in the groin, but other than that I have no idea what might have/might be causing this pain.
I am very worried about any problems to do with my groin because last year I had a risk of almost losing my testicle, and I would not want the risk to come back again!
I apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum, I just discovered this site and I am still unsure where everything is. Thank you.
