Left Testicle/Lower Abdominal Pain

Hi I am a 23 year old male who's recently developed testicle pain. For the past week or so I have experienced pain in my left testicle after lying down for a long period of time. After standing up and walking around the pain noticebly improves. In the last few days I have noticed the pain starting to radiate to my lower left abdomin. I dont seem to have any lumps on my testicles. Does anyone know what this could be?

Thanks.

I have very similar symptoms to you (for a year now).

Initially started out as a dull ache, but along with that I have lower-right abdomen ache, which gets worse during some activity.

There's also a very annoying pain when I press on the right side of the pubic bone - remains tender for a while after, but I don't notice this much unless I'm at the doctors and they prod it :) I suspect it's referring pain and causing the aches.

Thankfully going for an MRI soon, but no doubt it will come back negative.

The most success I've had has been with a sports-injury clinic. The guy there ruled out many things, and thinks I have a sports-hernia (or the start of one). To me this makes the most sense.

I think sports-clinics as well as chiropractors and osteopaths is the way to go :)

I have been going on with the same issues as all of you for about 12 years on and off. I am now 42 years old and this affects every area of my life.  Sex, concentration, wel being, etc...

I have an ache in my left Testicle almost constantly along with a burning/itchy sensation in my urethra through to the tip of my Penis.  It hurts when I pee or ejaculate. I am a mess.  

I have been through most oral antibiotics, ultrasound, urine tests, blood tests, semen samples etc..  I have been told Hot baths, no caffeine, no alcohol and the pain still wont go away.

I am trying what I hope to be the answer in a few days. I have found a Dr. in NYC that does Prostate Injections to clear infection that is hard to diagnose and treat with Orals.    First he does a battery of Tests to confirm. However for the first time I am feeling optimistic. I have been dismissed by many Doctors who don't want to be bothered..

Wish me luck

What you just said sounds very similar to my situation. I was treated for epididymitis twice. What is strange is another issue I have which may be related. What happens is at night I start to have pain in my penis and it feels like the pain is in some tube. I would think that for the reason when having sex, pressure is applied against the penis and if I squeeze on it I have pain that goes from the penis to the scrotum. I start to have a feeling of gas in my scrotum and the next thing I know is Im letting out gas. I dont know if there is some backup going on and something got blocked from the epididymitis or what. But epididymitis comes back for many people as I have seen viewing many forums. The gas feeling is terrible and last for maybe 30 minutes, but I get a build up of it from the scrotum to the stomach and , Darn, it must be blowed out lol.

Hey guys, I might have an answer for you. I had massive testicular pain on the underside, a painful spermatic cord and inguinal canal area, pain at certain points of the pubic bone (I dunno if that's what it's called, but the very front of your pelvis above and around the base of your ****), pulled groin muscle and lower back pain. Additionally, I discovered later I had a very tender perineum area - not the skin itself, but whatever is able to be palpated when you push into it.

Doctor gave me antibiotics for the "epididymitis" initially, couldn't tell if they did anything. Over the next couple months, the pain was getting better but definitely still there and absolutely affected my quality of life.

I saw a chiropractor and linked her to this: http://www.prostatitis.org/pelvicepidydi.html

After she manipulated my pelvis, the ball pain went away. Yay.

Then my girlfriend came and we had crazy sex for the weekend, and now I can feel the nerve pain in my balls JUUUUST slightly. Possibly dislocated something again or irritated a nerve or something. Also, I found out that I have quite a few trigger points in my abdomen, which I discovered by pressing my stomach against a desk.

But yeah, after I saw the chiropractor my perineum didn't really hurt at all, whereas before if I pushed on it a little bit it was quite tender. I think that's a definite sign, if your nut hurts and your perineum is sore or your have that hesitating feeling when you pee standing up, your pelvis needs to be readjusted.

As for me, unfortunately I'm quite poor and don't have health insurance, so I have to wait to see the chiro again to remanipulate things back to perfection again. I'm also a 23 year old college student. I'm a normal guy. Just wish I knew what causes this EXACTLY. It seems to be a pulled groin that did it for me. It happened after I was squatting heavy weight in the gym.
