Enlarged testicle is a common symptom of injury, inflammation or infection. Testicle enlargement results from swelling of the soft tissues, a lump, or a cyst within the testicle. Injury leading to swelling is a common cause of an enlarged testicle.

What is the cause of enlarged testes?

Will a swollen testicle go away on its own? This depends on the cause of your swollen testicle, which is usually injury or an underlying medical condition. If you're concerned about your swollen testicle, see your GP. In most cases, there is effective treatment.

How long does it take for a swollen testicle to go down?

It takes about 6 to 8 weeks for the swelling to go away. You may have to have many follow-up visits with your urologist to chart your progress. If conservative measures (meds and jock strap) don't work, surgery may be needed and the testicle may have to be removed.
