Pain in the left testicle that comes and goes can be caused by various factors, such as muscle strain, epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis), or even testicular torsion, although the latter is typically more sudden and severe. If the pain persists or is accompanied by swelling or other symptoms, it's important to see a healthcare provider for an evaluation and to rule out any serious conditions.
