i am a male 18 years old and recently ive been experiancing sharp pain that feels like a nail is being driven into my left ball. this occurs once then goes away, also i feel i might have noticed the left ball may be a tad bit smaller then the right. what can this lead to and how soon should i take action?

kaj,
First off, the size difference is completely normal. One is usually smaller than the other.
Next, I would suggest you be seen by a physician soon. ANY testicular pain, transient or not, should be taken seriously. It could stem from any number of things.
It doesn't pay to take chances...when it comes to the 'boys'.

The testes can be different in size, and as long as its the same,long term (not shrinking/swelling) then its normal, but pain is not.
You could have a torsion (Twisting) of the testes. This could affect your ability to have children, so get it checked out A.S.A.P. even if just for peace of mind.

I would go to the doctor pretty soon this could be a very serious problem. Like an inverted testicle or even more serious.
