Hi,
From history it seems that your son might be having indirect reducible hernia on left testicle giving rise bigger size.
Please see that while lying down this size decreases or not.
Lifting heavy weight and playing stranious game might give tris to this problem.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
