1. *Hydrocele*: Fluid accumulation in the testicle, causing swelling.
2. *Varicocele*: Enlarged veins in the scrotum, leading to swelling and pain.
3. *Orchitis*: Inflammation of the testicle, often due to infection.
4. *Epididymitis*: Inflammation of the epididymis, a tube behind the testicle.
5. *Testicular torsion*: A medical emergency where the testicle twists, cutting off blood flow.

*Next Steps*

1. *Consult a urologist*: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to evaluate your symptoms.
2. *Physical examination*: A urologist will perform a physical examination to assess your testicles.
3. *Imaging tests*: Your urologist may order imaging tests, such as an ultrasound, to evaluate your testicles.
4. *Treatment*: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include medication, surgery, or other interventions.

*When to Seek Emergency Care*

1. *Severe pain*: If you experience sudden, severe pain in your testicles.
2. *Swollen or tender testicle*: If your testicle is severely swollen or tender.
3. *Fever*: If you have a fever over 101.5F (38.6C).
4. *Vomiting*: If you experience vomiting or nausea.
