The symptoms you've described, including pain in the left testicle, swelling, and an abnormal shape, warrant immediate medical attention, as they could be indicative of a serious condition, such as testicular torsion, epididymitis, orchitis please visit a urologist or an emergency room as soon as possible for a thorough evaluation, including a physical exam, ultrasound, and potentially other imaging tests, to determine the cause and receive prompt treatment.
