DEAR DEIDRE: MY right testicle has swollen up to nearly twice the size of my left testicle.

It’s also tender to touch and I’m having trouble getting comfortable when I sit down – especially at my desk in the office.

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.

I tried to ignore it for the first three days in the hope it would go down on its own but I think it might be worse, if anything, and I’m having to pace around my home office to try and distract myself from the discomfort.

I’m 37 and my wife is 35.

It’s embarrassing in Zoom meetings when I have to suddenly get up.

Of course I’ve Googled what it could be and as soon as I saw the “C” word I was completely panicked.

I haven’t said anything to my wife but she’s sure to notice sooner or later.

DEIDRE SAYS: Worries always seem much worse when bottled up.
