Testicle and scrotum problems
Problems can be detected early by regular examination of testicles, preferably in a hot bath so that scrotal muscles are relaxed; the testes themselves should feel smooth through skin of scrotum; the epididymides should feel cord-like, with no noticeable bumps or lumps; any nodules, areas of tenderness, or swelling should be reported to your GP.
Enlarged or painful testicle A painless lump in one testicle is most likely to be an epididymal cyst; in rare cases, it may be cancer of the testicle (see Cancer. A painful swelling in one testicle, followed by pain and swelling of scrotum, suggests torsion or epididymitis (see below); both conditions require prompt medical attention, so consult your doctor if there is no improvement in 2 hours. A blow to the testicles can cause severe pain; if pain does not wear off within an hour or so, or if scrotum is obviously bruised and swollen, consult your doctor if there is no improvement in 2 hours; surgery may be necessary to prevent internal bleeding causing permanent damage to testes; in meantime, give Arnica 30c every 5 minutes for up to 10 doses.
Epididymal cysts These are benign, painless, fluid-filled swellings which develop in one or more of the many tubes leading from testis to epididymis; quite common in men over 40, and can occur in one or both testicles; since epididymis lies behind testis, swelling is usually located in upper rear past of testicle. Surgery is seldom necessary or advised, as it can result in partial sterility. Constitutional homeopathic treatment is recommended, but the remedies below should be tried first.
Specific remedies to be taken 4 times daily for up to 7 days
Remedy of first resort Apis 30c
If Apis does not reduce swelling Graphites 6c
Epididymitis Bacterial infection of epididymis, usually as result of urinary tract infection; results in hot, tender, painful swelling at back of one testicle. Conventionally treated with antibiotics; however, the remedies given below should be tried first. If there is no improvement within 12 hours, see your GP.
Specific remedies to be taken every hour for up to 10 doses
Testicle extremely hot, red, swollen, tender, and sensitive to slightest jarring Belladonna 30c
Infection onsets very suddenly, dramatic swelling of testicle, pains in scrotum and lower abdomen Pulsatilla 30c
Fever, restlessness, infection comes on after exposure to cold dry winds Aconite 30c
Testicle hot, swollen, and aching as if someone had kicked it, pains shooting up towards bladder Hamamelis 30c
Hydrocele Excess fluid in double-layered sheath around testes, causing soft, painless swelling; in most cases, cause is not known, though occasionally condition is precipitated by injury; most common in older men. Condition is usually kept under observation rather than treated, but if swelling is large, GP may recommend drawing off excess fluid under local anaesthetic; if this does not prevent recurrence, surgery may be necessary. If the homeopathic remedies below produce no improvement within a month or so, see your homeopath.
Specific remedies to be taken 3 times daily for up to 3 weeks
Swelling follows injury Arnica 30c
If Arnica does not help Bryonia 30c
Testicle tends to ache in thundery weather Rhododendron 6c
Torsion of the testicle Occurs when one of testicles twists out of its natural position, pinching veins and blocking outflow of blood; result is sharp pain, sometimes sharp enough to cause Nausea and vomiting, and swelling. Condition is rare, but can happen at any time, even in sleep; in susceptible individuals, double-layered sheath enclosing testis is not as close-fitting as it should be. Twist often undoes itself spontaneously, but if it doesn't, consult your doctor if there is no improvement in 2 hours as arteries as well as veins may become blocked. While waiting for medical help, take Aconite 30c every 5 minutes for up to 10 doses. Standard treatment is surgical exploration as this is the only sure way to prevent torsion recurring.
Varicocele Abnormal distention of veins draining one of testicles, analogous to Varicose veins in legs; symptoms are swelling, which disappears when lying down, and a dragging pain, especially in hot weather or after exercise; problem is most common in adolescence; in rare cases, increase in local heat can interfere with fertility. Pain and dragging sensation can be relieved by supporting testicles with a jock strap; surgery to remove or bypass distended veins is not always successful.
Specific remedies to be taken 2 times daily for up to 2l days
Person pale and anaemic, pain made worse by pressure but relieved by cold applications Ferrum phos. 6c
Pain radiates up from testicle into lower abdomen, person also suffers from piles Hamamelis 6c
Heat and lying on painless side make pain in testicle worse, cold applications relieve pain Pulsatilla 6c

And also at first they believed my lump to be "only a cyst". I'd definetly go get an ultrasound on it to be sure...
The doctor also told me that the remaining testicle would basically work overtime and pick up the slack of the other testicle. I really didn't believe him though. To prove this I had my testosterone levels checked a few months afterwards. The were BARELY in the normal range. I think if the reading were 5 points lower that I would have been in the below average range. I never got my sperm count measured though. I would like to do that, as in the future I would like to have a child. Other than that I really don't have a problem with it. Women don't run screaming in horror
