Testicular pain

[32malewithcolitis]

I’ve got an intermittent short pain in my right testicle / heavy feeling. I obviously know it’s a symptom of cancer and I’ve booked in with my GP. It kinda feels like it’s on top/ to the back of my right testicle and mainly feels detached, but attached in parts, I think I’ve made it more discomforting since examining. I’ve been looking at diagrams and I see that the epididymis lays across the top of the scrotum so I’m wondering if it may be this. Has anyone experienced this?

I know epididymis is usually painless but then so is testicular cancer usually, I’ve had epididymis cysts in the past on the tube at the back of the testes and I did have similar symptoms then, so thinking maybe it’s that? I’ll see what the GP says

[32malewithcolitis]

Yes I know it’s safe to get it checked. Have you experienced this?

[32malewithcolitis]

I did. They had a feel and said it isn’t cancer, said that it has. Very distinctive feel to it

[32malewithcolitis]

They weren’t sure. Just said it feels a bit inflamed so perhaps trauma or a cyst forming or something. But she said she can confidently rule out cancer which reassured me. Also ruled out a torsion and also STI. It isn’t so bad now, just an occasional dull ache but not really a sharp pain anymore. Have you experienced this?

I have had right testicular pain twice in 4 years. I saw a specialist who could findno reason. I now have hip pain so I am assuming the testicular pain came from there.

I had a similar sounding pain a few years back. Turned out it was a strain due to my job. Light lifting but twisting and bending in the mix led to this.Always best to have it checked.

Good luck

Had it felt and nurse said nothing to worry about, gp is sending me for scan for leave of mine

[jaglad in reply to 32malewithcolitis]

Sounds promising

[32malewithcolitis in reply to jaglad]

Peace of mind I meant to say.

Had an ultrasound scan, was all normal

I've had a dull ache in my right testicle for 5 days. No lumps/bumps, swelling, etc. and it doesn't hurt to urinate/ejaculate, so I don't think mine is anything too serious. I know in cases like this, docs usually don't find anything so I'm waiting a bit before I head off to get examined.

How long did it take your pain to go away?

Also, glad to hear your ultrasound came back normal!

Tenaval I have the same symptoms you have. But I’ve been like this for about 5 years. Scans and other tests all normal. I’ve just got to live with it. Tight underwear - especially dual pouch briefs help. But yes, you need to get checked.

[32malewithcolitis in reply to Tenaval]

To be honest only a few weeks. As soon as the scan was clear , the pain almost vanished. It’s strange how the mind and body work. I think a lot of my symptoms were due to health anxiety causing actual symptoms too

Have had bouts of testicular pain bad enough to worry about testicle torsion/twisting. Resolution 2nd time 1: stopped using jock spray which caused bad pain in one testicle until I stopped and restarted & proved it was from the spray. Resolution 2: switched to looser fitting, cooler shorts and changed positions at first sensation of pain.
