Constant Hyperchondria around testicular cancer

Hi all, hope you are all well and getting a bit of sun where you are.

It has been a little while since my last post as it got to a point where I had to see my GP, and after a reassuring meeting I was on the mend and not worrying as much of having a heart attack constantly!

However, things seem to be worse more than ever now, I am no longer worrying about my heart but instead my testicles (going round the whole body at this rate!), I am constantly worrying about testicular pain etc and imagining symptoms to the point I have them. I have been under a lot of stress recently with work so that hasn’t helped, and working at home 14 hours a day is also not helping at all.

For a bit of context, when I was 12 I had to have emergency testicular torsion surgery which I think has caused this lasting trauma as it was a very frightening time... I called my GP explained everything a couple of months ago and he had no real concerns, but I’m getting to the point where it’s crippling me mentally and I can’t take my mind off it, I don’t suppose anyone else has been through something similar to this?

Thanks so much and stay safe all!

Perhaps you need to have a chat with your doctor about the stress and the issue of your worry/symptoms about your testicles. The two areas may very well be connected and you may need an intervention (medication or talking therapy) to break that connection.
