can u damage the spermatic cord?

by Frustrated39, Nov 21, 2008 02:57PM
I've been doing a lot of research on the problem I have been dealing with.  It seems that the pain I feel originates from where the spermatic cord connects to the inside of my body only on the left side of my penis.  I feel pain in the left testicle when it hangs low, but far less pain when it is sucked up into my stomache.  could it be possible the spermatic cord is damaged or maybe the connective tissue around it?

Hi,
   How are you? Spermatic cord is a cordlike structure, consisting of the vas deferens and its accompanying arteries, veins, nerves, and lymphatic vessels, that passes from the abdominal cavity through the inguinal canal down into the scrotum to the back of the testicle.

Damage to the spermatic cord can occur due to torsion of the testicles or due to inguinal hernia. As you mentioned there is movement of the testiscles into the stomach i.e.,retraction of testicles, this causes pain due to pulling.

But what is more important is pain in the testicle when it is hanging low, this could happen due to torsion, varicocele or orchitis.
I would suggest that you get a ultrasound scrotum done and visit a urologist for physical examination and confirmation of diagnosis.
Best.
