Left Testicle Pain Need Help!!! Posted: 01-20-06 19:17pm
Hello everyone..
The last couple months I have been having
on and off pain (weird dull pain) in my
testicles, mainly in my left testicle and
also noticed I have a bump or so on my
left testicle near the top.. I waited
thinking this would go away but now its
really bothering me.. Also right now when
my left testicle is hurting it seems to
affect my left leg a bit, it feels really
strange and hard to describe.. And my
testicles have been really sore and
sensitive lately.
Anyone have similiar problem or an idea of
what it is? Im pretty scared..
Thanks!!

Left Testicle Pain Need Help!!! Posted: 01-21-06 22:31pm
Hello. I have had some of the same
syptoms. I seen a doctor and here is my
experience with this situation. Whenever
you feel testicular pain go to the doctor
as soon as possible. Don't be ashamed or
embaressed. The syptoms I was having
were: discomfort in my right testicle,
dull pains in the testicle, some pains in
the leg. The doctor suspected that it
was epididymitis and put me on
anti-biotics. He also had me to go in to
see a urologists where they did an
ultrasound on both testicles. The
ultrasound is to make sure you have no
torsion down there. The ultrasound is
painless and nothing to worry about. The
ultrasound showed that there was no
torsion but that there was an infection.
So I was kept on the anti-biotics and told
to take ibuprofen for pain and
inflammation, also to wear supportive
briefs, and to just rest for a while. It
has been over a month and I have had this
treated twice. I will go monday for the
third treatment. Epididymitis can be
very stubborn and hard to get rid off.
This does not mean that you have
epididymitis. Anytime you feel a "lump"
on your testicle you should definetly be
seen right away. Go to the emergency
room if you have to. Just do not let
this linger on b/c the longer you wait the
worse your problem will get and it will
become harder to treat. There are some
other things that could possibly be wrong
but from all the studying I have done
epididymitis seems to be one of the more
common in males these days. Don't get
yourself all worked up about it b/c that
will only add to the stress. Just go and
have this checked as soon as you can. I
will remember to pray for you tonight and
I will check this post again to see how
everything comes out. God bless!

I have been suffering from a very similar
problem for 8 months or so, I found a
lump on my left testicle along with aching
feeling, went to the doc and he said it
was a epidimal cyst, I was also suffering
from lower back pain that only came when I
was in bed and was there when I awoke in
the morning, I till have the cyst and it
has grown slightly, also the basck pain
has worsened,

I have had similar symptoms. The pain in
my left testicle is not sharp or
unbearable, it is just achy and annoying.
I have had this pain for a couple of
weeks, and i think it could be from
getting hit in the groin 2 times whilst
playing soccer. It has swollen up a
little bit over the past few days, and
feels like there is a sack of fluid
attatched to my testicle. I couldnt find
anything out on my online search, so i
came here. Any IDEAS?

ANy male with moderate to severe pain in
any part of his body needs to go to a
doctor. That applies to females too.

I've also had the same on my left, had it
for 3 & half years but now it's only
the second time it's flared up. I've had
all the same symptoms for 4 weeks now,
dull & sharp pain, pain shooting up my
side & down my leg, the area around it
tingles like it's fallen asleep. All my
muscles are so tense from contracting all
the time from sooting pain. The thing is
I've seen urologists twice in the past 3
years & he tells me it's nothing
serious, just an irritated nerve thats
causing the blood vessels to swell. 1
course of anti-inflammatories worked ok
the first time 2 years ago, I'm now on my
forth different type & pain pills, but
the pain is still there.
So do I trust the doctor? he was the
second opinion doctor who confirmed what
the first one said. I am under pressure at
work, don't eat too well, not much
exercise, could those be causes? the
doctor never even mentioned if your
lifestyle could affect it. Not easy to get
help either with no medical aid.

Hi DCZ, I had epididymitis for
approximately 6 months. Initially the pain
and inflammation wasn't bad, but it got so
bad one night I called the doctor straight
away. I had a urine test, blood work and
several physical examinations. As you
describe I also have an inflamed
Epididimis on the left side even though
the treatment seems to have worked. I saw
a urologist who gave me a physical
examination and antibiotics. On my return
to the hospital I pointed out the lump
above the left testicle and he said there
was nothing there that shouldn't be, it
just seems as though it's losing the
swelling very slowly.
The best thing would be to get a physical
and find out if a simple set of
antibiotics can clear it up. As other
posters have mentioned (and in my
experience) it can take some time so try
and stay calm.

probably epididymitis Posted: 08-26-08 15:19pm
i have had it chronically for nearly
twenty years. on and off. i was told a
vasectomy would stop the problem. nope.
definitely see a doctor but don't freak
out. sometimes the problem flares up and
goes away, other times you would need
antibiotics. don't forget to finish the
dosage - you don't want to become immune
to the treatment. my advice, stop wearing
jeans - the low rise (high crotch and
thick seams) always hurt my testes. that
was the biggest help. Also more support is
good. Try boxer briefs, nice long legs
but good sac support. Have sex or
masturbate regularly, gotta keep the flow
(this last advice empirical, i don't have
medical support for it).
Good luck.

Boyfriend's left testicle hurts Posted: 09-01-08 12:19pm
hi everybody, I'm just doing a search
online to see if i can figure out the
cause of the pain to my boyfriends left
testicle. He says the pain started in
middle school. It's always his left
testicle. it doesn't always hurt though.
sometimes it hurts for a day and then he's
fine for like a couple weeks. He doesn't
know what brings on the pain. there are no
lumps or bumps in that area. He went to a
doctor when he was in middle school and
they said nothing was wrong with him. He
went to another doctor who gave him some
meds (he doesn't remember what it was) but
it helped for a little bit.
Anyway long story short His pain started
in middle school and has been going off
and on since and he is now 20.
