I had a buddy in the service end up with a horrible case of testicular torsion. They actually ended up removing his left testicle. Go see a doctor.

After the fact, he used it to pick up chicks. They thought it was cool.

A doctor told that if they are harder than usual, it could be a sign of trouble. It doesn't hurt to get it checked by a doctor.

Do they believe he can last twice as long?

Although I'm not a doctor, I can say that I'm fairly sure it's not cancer. If something appears quickly and painfully, it's almost certainly not cancer. Cancer takes a very long time to come on and it does so painlessly, until close to the end.

You probably shouldn't give medical advice, since you don't know what the [censored] you're talking about.

The ache from my testicular cancer came on within a day. After three weeks (about the time I was saying to myself, "[censored], I better go to a doctor"), the tumor went necrotic and ruptured. I've never felt pain like that in my life. After they did the ultrasound, the doc said that there was definitely a mass there and the nut had to come off. I said hurry the [censored] up.

You probably have a condition called prostatitis.
If so, it's not cancer and it doesn't increase your risk of prostate cancer.

Go to your doctor, he'll give you some pills and it'll go away.

The entire above post is inaccurate (except for, "go to the doctor").

As others have said, go to a doctor - an 'after-hours' or 'walk-in' clinic ... or even an ER.

It's probably a case of epididymitis, which is an inflammation/infection of a part of the testes. This can be treated with a course of oral antibiotics.

It could be a few other things as well, though. Either way, you'll need a doctor.

Since OP is at sea in the Navy, and he said the ship's doc is an idiot, and we haven't heard back in almost 12 hours, I figure he's either:

A) on watch, or
B) dead

c) unable to move, as he's pinned to the floor with bollocks the size of pumpkins while writhing around in agony.
