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.
Thanks.
I've had pain on my RIGHT testicle, deep, dull pain.
It developed after rigorous exercise.
It has been like this for at least a good one month or more.
At first it was accompanied with lower abdominal pain.
Then constipation and occasional lower back spasm.
Noticed my right testicle is slightly larger than usual, not sure what it is.

Hi all,
Just to follow up on my previous post. I've still got my symptoms - generally a dull ache and some minor pain, which seems to be aggravated by activity. There's also an area around the tubing that seems to be the source of the pain, but nothing is showing up on the scans - I've had a second one recently which didn't show anything.
I've tried some nerve blockers - the idea being that they block out any pain, and they were awful! They literally put me to sleep and I couldn't' function, so I stopped taken them. They also didn't help with the symptoms I had for the week I did take them.
So the doctors can't really do anything else for me now, and are just saying it's some kind of muscle / ligament injury that will hopefully heal with time.
I've had it for nearly a year now, so I'm not thinking it's going to go away any time soon, seems like I might just have to life with it.
Hope others have found some relieve.

HI!
I too have had the same on and off symptoms. I've had mine for about a year until I (seemed) to have found the cause. First, I need to probably qualify myself a bit here, as I am also a physician myself. So, have a bit deeper understanding of the human body... though my area of expertise is not exactly this... but I digress.
In short, I have a reaction to coffee. I am fairly confident that I have a food intolerance to coffee (and to a smaller degree, other roasted bean foods.. i.e. chocolate).
Since I stopped the coffee, the symptoms have been LOTS better, and slowly improving.
Food intolerances can be to anything, due to "leaky gut" syndrome. There are specific diets to follow to determine what you are "allergic" to. (Allergic isn't such an accurate term for this, as an allergy can be potentially deadly... think allergy to bees, but in common terms, an allergy is a good way to think of it.)

Just an update guys,
I found a lump the other day on my left testicle...naturally I freaked and basically ran to the doctors.
I got sent to get an ultrasound of my testicles to rule out cancer.
After a very anxious 48 hours, the results came back negative for cancer (Phew) but they did find that the lump was acutally a scrotolith. For those who don't know this a small calcified mass usually existing around the epididymis and is very common in mountain bikers.
Now, I'm not a mountain biker but painful memories of that camel ride have come flooding back and I think there is a link here.
Does anyone else have any info on this or has anyone been tested positive for scrotoliths?
This may be a lead guys...fingers crossed.

Wow guys, I have finally found people with the exact symptoms as me. I thought I was the only one.
I am 25 and have had this left testicle/left abdomen pain for about 3-4 years now. I have had very physically hard jobs in my life such as landscaping and cellar work and i never lifted correctly and I am a keen walker.
I hike alot and when travelling overseas I walked everywhwere and would get a pain that is like somone kicked me in the left nut. It was crippling but after a while would go away. I even remember a camel safari in INdia that went for hours. It was extremely painful, my testicles being slammed by the camel over and over and then the guy said lets make it run...sweet jesus that was the most painful experience in my life, but none of the other guys were experiencing this problem so I kept quiet.
Thats my brief background that could explain some of the symtpoms but I can't remember exactly when this started. Recently I have to quit my warehousing job because I was in too much pain, now I want a deskjob so that I don't have to experience it...only it still happens, which is starting to depress me because I don't want to live with this pain.
Over a year ago I decided to do something about it. I started by going to a GP and I was sent to have blood and urine pathology tested...nothing, all clear. Then I was sent for ultrasound and x-rays...absolutely nothing, all clear. Then I was sent to a gastro specialist and was sent for CT scan and Nuclear Bone Scan...nothing, all clear. Finally, I was sent for a colonoscopy and gastroscopy (honestly guys the prep is worse than the procedure, don't be afraid of getting it to diagnose problems), anyway that came back all clear. After all this my specialist said there is nothing more he can do and that I shouldn't come back, maybe he thought I was faking it.
Now I have been sent to a rheumatologist, haven't gone yet because it costs a bucket load of cash...and after all this testing I am starting to run out of cash and tolerance. I just want a diagnosis so I can't start treating this thing and not have to live in pain. I have been poked prodded, intruded and probed and I don't have an answer.
Which specialist can I go to to maybe be diagnosed with this Nutcracker syndrome?
Good luck to all you guys out there, I really hope you find the answers you are looking for. And for those guys who said they have lumps on their testicles....go and get them biopsied immediately! seriously a lump is not a good sign and can be only a number of things....none of them good, so please go see your doctor and demand a biopsy, time is essential.
Take care all
