Question for men on treatment

Hey!  Why are you reading this ladies?  :)

Seriously, has anybody had any pain or aching in their testicles?  I have noticed for about a week or two while cleansing during my morning shower that I have to be more gentle while lathering and rinsing.  It isn't extremely painful and I feel kind of silly asking, but -HEY- we talk about a lot of funny stuff here on occasion.

Thanks, Pilgrim

No symptom.

Agreed, when in doubt, tell some one and have it checked out.

During one of my rare doc physical exams the one of the boys were sore. He pinpointed a tiny, really tiny blob of some kind. Had an appt with one of those ballsologists and he said that it was just a bit of extra flesh... it does have a slight ache when pressed...

I would get it checked just to be sure everything is OK.

best of luck

I did notice after the (very few) times (during tx) I felt like having sex, “The Boys” did feel a little sore afterwards. Who knows, maybe the water hitting them could be causing it. The sx can cause all kinds of strange things to happen. Just because it is not on the list doesn’t mean it is not the culprit. Try taking a bath instead of a shower and see it makes a difference. If it continues, you need to see the Nut Man.

Good job, Rockerforlife and granitekonig. Someone undergoing treatment asks a perfectly serious question and you behave like a bunch of 14 y.o. guys. Nice work.

I know that it isn't a listed sx and that is why I asked (seriously).  As far as your suggestion, that isn't the problem.

Glad we all got some chuckles out of this.  Glad to be of service.  I am not too worried about it at this point unless it gets worse and doesn't go away by my next study visit.

No complaints in that area, Pilgrim - although I just started txt. Sounds like you're in a bit of a squeeze. Don't get caught with your pants down. I'd suggest seeing a knapsack specialist, otherwise known as a urologist. You might have an entangled testicle; Yes it's a bonofide issue that can result in you LOSING half of your team. I doubt it has anything to do with treatment, unless you're currently undergoing hormonal changes due to he meds. Might be a possibility...

Shrug - make an appointment anyway.

Thanks, Bill.  But I can't find a ballsologist in the area.  They must be very specialized.  I guess I left myself hanging out there for that one.

I agree; I doubt this is treatment related. Maybe you  should make an appointment with a ballsologist to resolve this?

I've never heard of it. If it persists, I'd be inclined to get it checked out.
