Question: Hello  Ive been feeling pains on my left testicle for over a year now The pain is now extended to the groin area of my body I also simultaneously feel pains on my left leg from my knee downwards and also on my left hand And sometimes also have headache on the left part of my head Let me just say i feel pains on the left part of my body anytime this testicular pain arises

I had a test last year and the result says i have Bilateral Testicular Microlithasis with Mild Hydrocele Can you tell me what that means and the way forward
Answer: Testicular microlithiasis is usually detected by ultrasound scans and they are in most cases painless People with such conditions are advised to regularly self examine their testes and to do routine scans in order to ensure no further complications arise As for the hydrocele this is the accumulation of fluids around a testicle which makes the scrotum feel heavier This too is often painless and when pain is felt is it most likely more severe 
As for the next steps it will be in your best interest to get a full examination by a primary care doctor who will then refer you to a urologist for an individualized specialist treatment
