The size decrepancy is present in all men and not related to poilio or a hernia.
I would get checked out for a possible hernia.

It could quite possibly be a small hernia, but the only way to know for certain is to have a doctor examine it. It has nothing to do with the size difference in your testes, which is just a normal variation in the scheme of things. If your small bulge decreases in size when you lie down, or if you can make it go back down by pressing on it, then it probably is a hernia. Although it can be held in place with an old fashioned truss, if you get it repaired while it is small, the surgery is much easier to do and recover from. If you wait, the intestine which is bulging can be cut off from the blood supply and die. Then the repair becomes life or death necessity. It may not be painful at the moment, it won't become painful unless there is a major problem to deal with. Don't wait to find out, just make an appointment with your doctor for an exam. And while you are there, and he's in the general area, you can ask him/her to have a look at the testicles and evaluate the possible reasons for the size difference. Then you will have a professional opinion with a diploma and training behind it, which is more than you can be certain of here.

The lump you describe may indeed be a Hernia, but could also be something much more serious. You should see your Health Care Provider very soon.

To be sure, consult your doctor who is qualified, trained, and licensed to give you medical advice. People on this site are not. Good luck.
