Some non-cancerous 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, soreness 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 and soreness condition needs urgent medical attention.
* Undescended testicles – either one or both testicles are missing from the scrotum and are lodged instead inside the lower abdomen. Premature and low weight newborn boys are most prone to undescended testicles. This condition is known to increase the chance of testicular cancer later in life.
*Hernia - When part of the intestine protrude down into the scrotum.
*Prostatitis - Prostate gland infection.
