Soreness in testicles after ejaculation

[Mrseaweed]

Hello,

I am a 24 year old male. I am able to get an erection and ejaculate normally with no problem. I have noticed that after ejaculating, I will occassionally have some soreness in my right testicle almost as if it's being very slightly squeezed.

If I attempt to get aroused again within the next few hours, this soreness/discomfort typically increases dramatically and I notice soreness in both testes and my penis as well. I am still able to get aroused and ejaculate again, and the discomfort usually diminishes as I get close to ejaculation. This discomfort does make it difficult to get aroused and ejaculate more than once within a small period of time. Is this something I should be worried about/consult a doctor about?

Thank you very much.

Infection should be ruled out whenever there is testicular pain.  This can be done with a urine test as well as a urethral swab.

Imaging the scrotum can also be considered, to evaluate for any cysts or masses that can lead to the discomfort.  I would obtain a scrotal ultrasound.

If the pain continues, I would consider a referral to a urologist.  Sometimes referred pain (i.e. from an inguinal hernia) can present with testicular or scrotal pain.

These options can be discussed with your personal physician, or in conjunction with a urologist.

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
