Tingling In Scrotum/achy back/achy abdomen ??
Posted: 12-05-07 19:54pm

Hello,

I'm 19 and I've been having some tingling in my scrotum for about a week now. This all started actually in mid-October when I purposely jumped off a 4 foot platform onto the ground, I landed on the ground fine but when I landed I felt my scrotum go 'numb' for a few seconds, as if the jump was too much for me. Then, about 5 or 6 days later I started having a "heaviness" feeling, mostly in my right testicle. I usually wear boxers, but I noticed when I wore briefs instead the heaviness kind of disappeared.

The heaviness feeling went away about a week ago, but when it went away I started having a "tingling" feeling instead in my scrotum occasionally. Ejaculating seems to lessen the tingling sensation. The tingling is generally only noticeable when I am sitting down, it typically lasts for about 5 seconds. I've also had an achy back lately (although that could be from lifting I do at work), and my upper left and lower abdomen has been a little achy once in a while (usually after I eat something.)

Just to mention:
- I've never had sex or sexual contact, so it can't be an STD
- I have not found any lumps on my testicles or anywhere else
- No blood in semen, urine, or stool
- I'm lactose intolerant if that means anything
- I have never smoked

From my own research, prostatitis, epididymitis, appendicitis, and kidney stones seem to come up frequently. Also, I am going to see a doctor on Monday but I was curious as to what you folks might think on here.

Thank you much ahead of time

It's very easy to damage your testicles... jumping from high heights, diving into water and sitting to quickly can cause them to stretch or be moved in ways that can irritate or cause damage. I think seeing a doctor might be a good thing. It's probably a good idea to wear briefs for a bit, seeing as how it makes you feel a bit better. The doctor should know what to do... I personally just think you might have stretched something too much or knocked something around a bit too harshly. You seem to be very smart when it comes to your sexual health though! Kudos!
