Some non-cancerous pain conditions that may affect the testicles include:
* Cyst – an abnormal yet harmless collection of fluid in the testicle.
* Varicocele – varicose veins. About eight per cent of men have varicose veins of the scrotum.
* Haematocele – a blood clot caused by trauma or injury to the testicles or scrotum.
* Epididymo-orchitis –
infection of the epididymis, testicle or both that causes inflammation and pain. Treatment includes antibiotics.
*
Testicular torsion – the cord that attaches the testicle to the body twists and cuts off the blood supply. This extremely painful condition needs urgent medical attention.
*
Hernia - When part of the intestine protrude down into the testicles right side.
*Prostatitis - Prostate gland infection.

My husband's right testicle has been hurting off and on since June of 2009. He now can not keep an erection for more than 10 minutes. He refuses to go see a doctor because he is embarrassed! What do you think could be the problem?
