Painful testicle w/ pain after orgasm Posted: 01-13-08 07:57am
My left testicle started feeling tender
and hurting after a moderate touch this
morning. Pain when moved is acute but not
particularly severe, and it's in the
"tubes" above the testicle (which I think
is the epididymis?), though it
occasionally extends to the groin region.
Those "tubes" feel larger than the right
testicles', and move around in the scrotum
less easily. Orgasm is achievable, and
semen appears as per normal, but the pain
remains even after orgasm.
I was wondering if there was any cause for
worry given these symptoms? I feel
perfectly alright apart from this
tenderness and pain (excluding my shoulder
injury), and am able to participate in
physical activity. What should I do next?
Thanks.

According to the symptoms you describe,
you could be experiencing inflammation of
the epididymis (epididymitis). Next step:
you should visiting your GP for a physical
examination. you can also request sperm
and urine analyses after the physical. An
ultrasound examination and examination by
a urologist can be performed later, if
necessary.
