That's what's on my right nut, a hydrocele. If you wake up one day, and you're thinking "HOLY SHIT MY NUTS ARE HUGE," go to the fucking doctor.

Sonogram time...

Now there's a mental image I didn't need this early in the morning...

Good luck, OP. Sounds like they are benign.

I hope so. Funny how my only two options are "take NSAIDs and pray" or "surgery." And the sonogram is just to confirm it's a hydrocele, I really hope it's not anything else.

A hydrocele testis is the accumulation of fluids around a testicle, and is fairly common. A hydrocele testis is due to fluid secreted from a remnant piece of peritoneum wrapped around the testis, called the tunica vaginalis. It can be the result of cancer, trauma (such as a hernia), or orchitis, and can also occur in infants undergoing peritoneal dialysis. It may be treated surgically. Hydroceles are usually not painful (neither are testicular tumors) and a common way of diagnosing them is by attempting to shine a strong light through the enlarged testicle. A hydrocele will usually pass light, where a tumor will not, but the diagnosis should be made by a physician.

I had one about a year ago...though I can't remember if it was a hydrocele or hernia. One doctor thought it was a hydrocele, but the doctor I actually had surgery with said it was a hernia. Once the surgeon was done...I think he told me it was a hydrocele. I was too drugged up at the time to remember.

Grab your nuts. Mentally divide your nuts into two units, "left half of my sack" and "right half of my sack." Now make "right half of my sack" three times as big, but keep a regular nut inside it. There.

Yeah, making sure everything is healthy down there was driven home to me awhile ago. Very good friend of mine had testicular cancer...doing fine now and we joke about 1-ball but for awhile there it's pretty scary.

So you leave the dead bodies on you while you sleep?

Doesn't that get cold after a few hours?

Am I doing something wrong?

Well as long as you erase your maids mind every day so she can't testify against you everything is fine.

If I went to the doctor for this, I don't think I'd be able to resist queuing up a certain classic AC/DC song when he asked what was wrong.
