I don't really know about what's wrong, as I haven't visited a doctor yet about it. However I am planning to do so, but I just want to hear some advice, if it's possible.

Lately, I've been noticing my vas deferens in the left testicle is somewhat longer and bulbous than the one in the right testicle. It snakes around and is quite thicker. The testes don't have anything out of the ordinary and there is no pain. But the difference in the size of the tubes and the swollenness of the left one worries me.

Can anybody help in determining what it is?

Go to the hospital and have them examine it for you to be sure. That's what I did when I had testicular cancer. My right testicle grew about 2-3 times it's normal size and became *really* hard...like a rock, with lumps.

If they think it's serious, they'll probably send you to a urinologist and have some tests run. Do it as soon as possible, because it can grow quickly. When I had my cancer cut out, it was on the verge of entering the rest of my body...so I probably would have been in worse shape if I had waited another week. Just go in with an open mind and do whatever they say, it could just be nothing. Smile
