Testicular Pain? Posted: 04-07-07 06:51am
Hey, I felt a small pain in my left
testicle, it feels like somebody is
'squeezing' it and somtimes in feels
slightly hot/ cold on the inside, not the
overall. Any idea what this might be? The
slight pain is mainly from the epididymis
to the left area under my stomach. I
usually feel this when sitting down, well
it's more noticible, does it have anything
to do with blood going to that area and if
it does, any way to help it?
Also, how come most pain occur in left
testicles?
Thanks
I also tried 'self care' to see if I have
any lumps..etc on the testicles, most
sites say that you should feel 2 things on
top of the testicle, but I feel more than
2 'tube like' veins, or what so ever. What
are they, and are they normal?

Pain in the testicle can be caused by many
things and cannot be diagnosed over the
internet. You have to go to the doctor to
rule out anything dangerous, as well as
get treated. Minor things such as
infection can get worse, so go to the
doctor.
It could be epididymitis since you mention
that, which is an infection. It could also
be varicocele, which is a varicose vein of
the testicle. It's quite common and does
usually happen on the left side, but for
most men it is asymptomatic. It may
account for feeling more tubes as veins
are larger, or I'm not sure, perhaps more
numerous.
I'm not sure why most pain appears in the
left testicle, though perhaps it is
because of the nature of the circulatory
system and the heart. I believe that is
why most varicoceles happen on the left
side.
Either way, it's something a doctor should
be seen about. And considering you've
started many threads about recent
problems, you have more than one reason to
go. This website isn't to diagnose people,
it's to offer help and guidance.
