Hey,
okay, so i've been having some pain in my
testicles, and it's been going on off and
on for quite a while. The first time
this happened was like 2 years ago, and I
went to the Dr. Well, I had a cold and
he said sometimes that happens with
congestion. Okay...So it kept happening
every now and then, maybe once or twice a
week, but not severe, not persistant.
Last time I was at the doctor for a
checkup, he again examined me and said
everything was fine. Well, by that time
I noticed that when I knew I had slept on
my side, they would hurt...And it is both
of them. I'm a big guy, and my legs are
rather large, so recently, i've been
thinking that maybe my pain is due to the
fact that my testicles don't have much
room between my legs, so maybe the
pressure is causing them to hurt. Now
it's pretty frequent, a couple days a
week. Still, whenever I sleep on my
side, they hurt, but recently it's also
when I don't have a lot of room to spread
my legs. I've felt around, and as far as
I can tell they feel normal, though I can
feel a bump on my left one, kinda
underneath, but I know that there's cords
that connect there. Also, my left one is
noticably larger than my right, and
neither hurt to touch. I'm a
hypocondriac, so i'm really worried and
scared that it's cancer.
So, should I get this checked out soon?

It is very possible that you are suffering
from epididimitus or a varicocele. You
need to go to the doctor and have him/her
take a look and see if it is something
like that.
I have chronic epididmitus and in 1991 I
had a varicocele ligated. The varicocele
is the same a varicose viens in the legs
but it is in the scrotum and puts a ton of
pressure on the teste that it is involved
with.

I also have a varicocele and I have been
to the doctor and they didnt really do
anything about it.......That was like 2.5
years ago. If I go back to the doctor is
there anything that can be done?
