Hello Doctor,
I've been experiencing pain in my right testicle for the past two weeks. The pain usually starts in the evening and radiates up to my right hip. I've also noticed a slight size difference between my scrotums, with the left one appearing slightly larger. When I try to feel the inside, I notice a few small lumps. What could be causing this, and how can I find relief?
