I've been having pain in my left testicle and noticed something like a bag of worms in my scrotum. Could this be treated without surgery, and is there a risk of infertility later on?

I'm really worried and just need some advice. So, I had a situation where I rubbed my bare penis on the outside of my partner's vagina, and there was some precum involved. I'm really concerned about the possibility of this causing a pregnancy. Is this something I should be worried about?

Yes, you can be pregnant if precum comes in contact which contains sperms
