Hello all,
Looking for any insight into testicular
chronic pain.
4 years ago I had a testicular torsion
surgery and then a year later my left
testicle discomfort became chronic. The
scrotum gets flushed red (no inflammation)
and quite hot, left testicle also seems to
"pulse" blood and squirm more (contraction
of cremaster muscles) and always has a
discomfort to sometimes a severe ache.
ALWAYS specifically flares up after
sitting. Whenever I'd have internships for
the summer or now that I work full time,
it hurts. But while in school and not
sitting for 8 straight hours a day it
didn't hurt as much. I've had urologists
look at me a million times and taken
painkillers and antibiotics to no avail.
Also had a small varicocele which I had
embolized, which didn't change my symtoms
at all but augmented them slightly adding
pulsation in the buttock which I really
don't care about as much. Is it possible
that the sutures the urologist used in
tieing down my testicles to prevent future
torsion are causing this pain? Could it be
a circulatory issue or neurological? (no
back pain though) It's really affecting
all areas of my life. So if you know
anything please share. it would be much
appreciated.
