Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for your query.
Swelling of the testicle could be either tumor of the testicle itself or due to Hydrocele .

This can be confirmed only on clinical examination and ultrasound Scanning of scrotum.

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Ultrasound scanning of Scrotum.

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
