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 been having a great deal of success lately.

I haven't posted in a while. I have been collecting my thoughts prior to posting.

If you've read my previous posts you will know my situation and know that my issues are similar to many of you on here

My pain level varies between a 2 to a 4 currently, on a scale of 1 to 10. It used to be a 12

these things have offered me the most relief to date

- I bought a herman miller aeron chair... very comfortable (expensive but worth it for me... I can sit longer and with less pain now) http://hermanmiller.com/Products/Aeron-Chairs

- I found a new physio therapist specializing in pelvic muscle floor dysfunction which I found from this site http://www.pudendalhope.org/node/63 they have lists of physio therapists in the usa and canada.

- I have been seeing this physio therapist for about a month now

- I highly suggest finding a highly qualified and recommended physio therapist who specifically specializes in pelvic muscle floor dysfunction

- things I have been given to do. Just to give you some ideas.

- skin rolling on my inner thigh on left side (I'm supposed to do the right too... but I do it less) example starting at time 1:08 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFfSd3wf9B8 you do it up and down and side to side... they show back of thigh... have someone do that too but do inner thigh yourself. you can do it sitting with the leg you are working on propped up on your other knee (example for me its left foot resting on right knee when sitting) also they show it backwards in the video from what the physio told me. grab it as they show but roll towards your fingers not towards your thumbs. a baby's connective tissue is very soft and you can roll it very easily. check your thigh I bet its tight. the goal is to grab a good amount of skin between your thumbs and fingers and roll it out... as you do it it will get more flexible. mine felt like there were rubber bands in there under the skin or also like there was bubble wrap under there. at least 3 times a week

- massage your *** with a tennis ball standing up against the wall... massage around your anus and perineum (i do from the bottom up in a circle around the left and right sides... and all around actually... at least 3 times a week

- hot baths with Epsom salts (very hot, very long, very often) at least 3 times a week

- 20 mins of elliptical machine training 3 times a week (get a good stretch routine going before and after... ask the physio and or trainers maybe?)

- stretches... ill attempt to explain

- stretch 1 - lie on the floor completely flat on you back bend one knee and hug it with your hands into your body... get a good stretch... hold 20 or more seconds 3 times each knee

- stretch 2 - same starting position on the floor lying on your back, bend your left knee keeping your left foot on the floor, put the right foot on your left knee, now pull your left thigh towards your head... should feel a good stretch in your left ***/hip repeat other side... hold 20 or more seconds

- stretch 3 - arg this one is hard to explain.. ok so you lie on your back same as the other two... bend your left knee, keeping your left foot on the ground, keeping your right leg straight, now put your left foot on the other side of your right knee, take your right elbow and put it on the left side of your left knee now push on your left knee with your right elbow towards the right... get a good ***/hip stretch. repeat other side hold at least 20 seconds or more, repeat 3 times.

seriously go see the physio and get proper instruction

- anal stretches... going to sound weird but it works... I bet we all have a tight iliococcygeus or iliococcygeal muscle on whatever side is causing us pain... that's what I've been told anyways

how to do it... lube up your index finger on whatever side works for you... when standing put a leg up on a stool, insert index finger, contract anus muscle, relax anus muscle, push anus muscle, and now finally when you are at that point you push with your finger down at the 6 oclock mark and hold for 30 seconds. repeat at the 5:30 and 6:30 marks 3 times each spot.  30 seconds each... at the end of the stretch add a little friction with your finger like you are rubbing off glue on a desk or something for 5 seconds each spot.

im sure its not all 100% clear what I am trying to express but it might give you some ideas as to things to explore... again please consult a qualified physio therapist... your issue might be different and they might give you different exercises...

I spend 1 hour with her 1 time per week and she does all kinds of things, internal anal massage, skin rolling, massaging, trigger point release, leg and hip manipulations

hope this helps guys... im feeling much better and im sure i will continue to get better... one day i hope to say im pain free... and i hope that day is soon... im so freaking close I can taste it

I sort of have the same thing going on. The cord (I don't know the name for it) to my left testicle seems to be swollen and it has been for about a year and a bit now. Its probably because last year when I masturbaited I used to hold in my ejaculation to avoid a mess since I was in my bed and I was too lazy to get up. Thinking nothing bad would come from it, sometime after i ofcourse did it again but this time it hurt and I noticed a swelling in the "cord". Its been about a year since then and a couple days ago I masturbaited and the pain came back for a moment and I noticed the swelling is bigger. All I want to know is how do I treat it? I don't feel like mentioning this to my parents cause its embarrassing. If someone could help me out it would be awesome. Thanks!
