Hi.
I am 18 years old and have a dull pain in my left testicle and down my inner left thigh. I can also remember, if this info would be of any help, about 3 or 4 years ago I had a severe, frequent pain in my left testicle that occurred for a couple of months on and off. I never mentioned it, nor have I ever thought anything of it. The pains then stopped so I forgot about it. But now there is a reoccurring, frequent dull pain and also an often heavier pain that is sometimes really painful especially when touched or squeezed.
I have been to my family physician and when I told him that I had testicular pain, he checked for a hernia, why, I don't know, but long story short I didn't have a hernia.
Now this is what I would assume be some helpful information to solve this problem. When I "cough" my right testicle retracts about an inch towards the abdomen, not in the abdomen, but towards it. The left barely moves 2mm if it even moves at all. Now, I am not sure if this is normal or not but I thought that I would mention it. The second thing is that when I hold my testicles as if I were checking for cancer, there seems to be a build up of, let me say, veins in the left testicle. I doubt I am confusing these veins with the epididymis that is towards the back, top of each testicle because there is a build up on the left side that is not similar to the right side.
This is all my info that I have to give you and I hope that you can figure out if there is a problem that I should be aware about. I also thank you, and am very appreciative for your time in answering my question. Thanks... Kevin.
