The pain in the left testicle can be due to infection and inflammation of the testis, called orchitis.
You need to undergo an ultrasonography and color doppler examination.
As also Urine test to see there is no urinary tract infection.
You will need a long course of an antibiotics and supportive treatment. You need to have a proper scrotal support.
Cancer has to be ruled out
