Testicular Problems
The testicles are located inside the scrotum, a loose bag of skin underneath the penis. They produce male sex hormones and sperm cells for reproduction. Lumps, swelling, pain, or other changes in the testicles can indicate a variety of problems, ranging from minor to serious. Because these symptoms have a number of possible causes, you should see your doctor to ensure correct diagnosis and treatment.
