My testicles became hard...

[un_decided]

Hi
I am 17 years old
A couple weeks ago, maybe 3 at maximum, suddenly I felt pain in my right testicle. I had these sudden pain really rarely and I thought it will go away as always but it didnt stop and continued
I became really concerned about it because recently I had this TC speakers come to my school and talk with the guys about it and the first time in my entire life I thought about tc.
The pains went away and then came back again and I also noticed that one of my testicles is higher than another one. They always seemed to be located at the same height but now one of them is higher than another one. Also when I masturbate, the testicle that is higher is like gettin inside and i cant even see it unless I push it out.
Yesterday I noticed that both of my testicles became hard. Actually I never squeezed them and examined them for that but it seems like they were softer.
So I was thinkin about goin to the doctor the next day after I discovered the pain but then it went away and I didnt go - maybe because I was scared
Do you think those are the sings of tc or it is just somethin teenagers are going thru?
Thx.

Sorry your post went unanswered! Chances are good that your mind is playing tricks, and everything you describe except the pain sounds normal enough. I'd never dare tell anybody "nothing's wrong," though. If you're worried about it, the best thing to do is tell one of your parents. It may seem awkward, but you and they will both be glad you did.

dude, talk to your parents, my guess is they'll send you right to the doctor, I waited several months before going, and now I wish I'd gone at the first sign.
Trust me, there's nothing to be embarassed about.
just tell them you've got some pain there, and you're worried.

I feel so bad that your post went unanswered. I know you are stressed but go ahead and tell your folks and make a dr. appt. Just think about how great you will feel when the Dr. tells you everything is fine. And if there is something that needs attention, you will be the in the right hands.

Good luck and let us know what happens.

Err on the side of caution and get it checked out by your doc. It will ease your mind that way (since it is probably nothing).

I agree with the others. The stress of worrying isn't worth it. Tell your parent(s) and have it checked. Here's a link that details the self exam you should do every month. It also tells you what some of the "stuff" you feel is.

I am sorry that I didnt write anything about my examination at urologist
So he said that I am perfectly normal and there is nothing to worry about
He also said that I might have gotten those pains because I went to the gym and over worked out
Well I want to thank all you guys for helping me

I am very happy for you! Great news
