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.
Ok,
It's been 1 year since my symptoms started, and literally within the same month a year on, they are gone.
Symptoms (as I wrote above) were a dull ache, and a pain on the pubic bone (both on right side).
3 weeks prior to the symptoms going I did these things
1) Started swimming once or twice a week.
2) Brought a swiss/gym ball and started doing core exercises.
I have no idea whether this was the solution, or it's just timing.
My MRI scan has showed up something called osteonecrosis (completely unexpected), which can be caused by scar tissue (i.e. healing).
Hence my thinking is that these exercises did initiate some healing, but have actually led to this new condition.
Anyway, fighting that now, but the annoying initial dull ache/pubic pain is gone!

Guy's I have the same symptoms you are all describing but It's my right Testicle that seems to be feeling heavier and the cord seems to be having a dull but shooting/stretching sensation. It sit's higher than my left and might even have a scrotolith on it near the cord. I noticed it when I first started riding a bike to work a year ago. A year prior to that I got my back checked out by a chick at a healthfood store with a machine that measured each individual vertibrae through a computer. The disc that sits directly above my pelvic bone was off, the muscles on the right side were pulling and my left side was over compensating. i'm pretty sure this is the disc that's connected to this area but not 100% positive because I'm not a doctor. I got checked for the std's and everything came back neg. I'm 28 n have been working out n playing sports since I was 5. The thing that made the most sense as to why the dull pain in this area is on the right side is because I was a right handed pitcher all my life from LL to Professional baseball. My whole right side of my body is completely jacked up. 3 vertibrae out of allignment one in my neck, behind my shoulder and in my lower back. The pelvic re-adjustment sounds like a good thing so I'll have that done n let you guys know what happens after that. BTW the place that did this diagnostic body/spinal exam was a intern @ chiropratorincostamesa.com...Havent gone in though because i'm broke

devang what medicine did the doctor give you... just curious?
these antibiotics CM-CEPHALEXIN CAP BLIS 500MG 20 are not working
and nurofon and antinflamitories arent working and nothings working
and im getting really upset and scared
it doesnt hurt to pee
it doesnt hurt to wank/have sex/cumm or masturbate
it hurts really bad after release of sperm/***/sex/masturbating/wanking but not after toilet
i have been going to toilet alot to pass urine.
urine is always clear no blood
on and off pain from left testicle all day and all the time.
uncorftable sleeping and sitting down, standing helps a bit
feels like its coming from left testicle and left leg and under scrotum, bum, left side near kidney and back
and sharp pains followed by uncortable dull pain and discomfort.
left feels different to right
left feels lumpy and veiny
doctor said feels normal when i went to gp
and hospital booked me in urgently and did
urine test, blood test, ultrasound and said no cancer, and its normal
they mentioned finding a small kidney stone in my kidney
but is that causing all this pain. left testicle.
i dont think so
could it be a kidney stone... or a hernia... ?
i was watching on youtube. a hernia pushed down could be it
but there is so much people are saying like testicle torson and
epididymitis, epidimal cyst, and cancer and vein stuff and i dont know whats the difference or what to believe
and when the gp/doc and hospital say your normal and you get stabbing pains and stuff in your left ball
and the right seems fine, you know there is something wrong, when its your balls your testicles nuts
whatever. you know when they feel different and hurt and stuff.
what can i do. what can we all do... ???
devang was talking about sonography... what is this and what does this involve. would this help ?
is there any medicine we can take that might help ?
would a xray help or be any different to a ultrascan or should we get a cat scan or what...
im looking for answers like everyone else on here. i want to help others and by helping each other
we help ourselves and help other people on the net. seeing this is the first thing that comes up
when you type into google. left testicle pain...(tags)
the left seems bigger or feels different to the right.
its weird tho because sometimes i get pain in the right but its usually in the left always.
so for example could be all day and night in the left. then for 10-20-30minutes in the right then back
to the left.
its like blood is blocked. veins are stuck or blocked or semen or fluid bacteria build up or something
and its trying to push back or forward something and its not working and the veins are overworking
or trying so hard and its getting swollen or inflamed or bigger or something. killing the cerculation
or ball or something im not sure because im no doctor but im looking for answers,
its not like i wanna go to the gp or hospital every day and night and say hey CHECK OUT MY BALLS
cause even tho i got balls to show my balls i dont like to do it because its a sensitive and embarassing thing
even tho i think im bigger then alot of other guys so my girlfriend says im big but this aint the point or question
right now i hurt and im in pain and it looks and feels different and my balls are more red and saggie then usual
and its really starting to make me depressed and wanting to end my life. jump off a cliff or something
cause no one listens or believes me or understands. thinks its all a joke. but hello this is stabbing me
in the left testicle...
last time i went to the hospital they said i dont have cancer for sure.
its normal and the balls are fine.
urine passed
blood passed
im healthy and normal heart bet and stuff
no blood in urine
any more tests we can do because this is a joke... they are missing something im sure...
sometimes the pain is not stabbing its so dull that its like a numb dumb burning pain like its hot
or burning its really bad feeling... anyone else getting or feeling this...???
liam868 i feel ya pain mate because the doc said the same to me
seen alot of genitals in my years yours arent much different but
i know there is a problem or something wrong cause its been
pain and discomfort and all the above for 3weeks now.

Update:
Chiropractic adjustment of my pelvic bones (sacrum) instantly relieved all pressure/pain/discomfort while sitting. I have been drinking cranberry juice (organic, 100% juice, no added sweeteners) for the last week and the testicle discomfort is nearly gone. 9 days without using any energy drink and I'm 90% there guys! Even 1/2 cup of coffee increased my body temperature and the skin itchyness started to return while sitting. 99% sure I have a caffeine allergy.
Ditch the caffeine for 2 weeks and use cranberry juice or a mild antibiotic to rid yourself of the infection that is sitting in your seminal tube.

Hey guys.. Here is my history with this one:
Symptoms:
left testicle sore, slightly swollen, sensitive to rolling between fingers (only at times)
pain under scrotum- you can feel the muscle fiber in there
Highly irritated when sitting for prolonged times or when body is warm.
Scrotum usually in relaxed state
Thickened semen
Treatments:
At it's worst, I was diagnosed with epididymitis ochitis (spelling?), placed on high doses of antibiotics, nada. Yeast infection medication actually helped.
Full STD scan 2 times
ultrasound found the epididymitis
A few key points:
I work out 5X/week and was using supplements for energy aka bsn noxplode then jack3d. I read on a blog site the other day that jack3d causes the following symptoms:
decreased sex drive/ reduced staying power (it's not E.D. you can perform but you aren't what you used to be)
rectal pain/itching because you are seriously dehydrated and constipated (at a minimum, your intestinal lining is irritated)
Long term sitting feels like your skin is on fire and you simply cannot get comfortable.
These symptoms were noted by 5 out of 600+ posts so we're unique. As mentioned above, pelvic adjustment is highly possible (I just found a new chiro so i'm going today) caffeine allergy! or the additive they put in EVERY energy drink out there that reduces the crash effect of caffeine. The two guys who mentioned the jack3d symptoms reported back and said they were gone within two weeks. I'm 5 days into not using them and am feeling a lot better. Ditch the caffeine altogether and go see a chiropractor if you have tenderness under the scrotum. Search for caffeine allergies, way more common than you would think.
Frequent urination/burning is either a UTI or STD.. go see a doctor!

Also, with regards to what can cause the pelvic issue in the first place, my sports injury guy said a lot is todo with posture.
I have an office job, so am seated for much of the day. We aren't designed to be seated for such long periods essentially...
If it is related to posture, then it's just a case of being conscious about how you are seated (no funny angles, no hunching over/slouching too much etc), and of course taking regular breaks out of your seat.
I've also purchased a gym-ball and find stretching sometimes helps - I'll use it to improve my core stability, but to be honest I'm not sure whether I'll make the problem worse or not.
