Hello.. I'll be 14 in acouple days..
Around September, 2001, my left testical became very large. Around the end of 2001, I began experiencing pain in my lower stomic when I streached upwarps, like jumping on my trampoline..
It's around the size of a baseball, except in a kidnee shape. It's not hard.. it's firm but alittle bouncy. My other testical is the right size.
I'm really scared and unsure about this.

Medical Hisoty...
I had my kidnee out when I was 3.
I have Alopetia areata. (lost my hair -_-)

That's about it..

Hi, Faded.

You might be experiencing a hydrocele . . . fancy term for fluid in the sac which holds the testicle. It's usually harmless, but in a few cases, it can lead to problems. It's best that you tell your parents or someone else you trust so that you can be seen by your doctor. I'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck.

OK. Thanks. You don't know how much better I feel. Gah. Now how to tell my parents. >_<

Hi Faded, I have a son who is 12 and it would kill me to know something was wrong with him and he didn't tell me.

It may be something they can fix easily but you need to have it looked at before it gets worse.

Please, please talk to your parents. If not, mention it to an aunt or uncle you are comfortable with and have them talk to your parents.
