!9 Years Chronic Pain in Testicle

[danial99]

I'm 33 yrs unmarried male.When I was about 14 yrs old I felt pain in my left testicle and on examining i found that it was much smaller than right testicle.There was no lump or other sign.Since then I have been feeling pain in my left testicle and sometimes burning feeling after ejaculation.I have consulted a number of doctors including urologists but they say everything is normal.One doctor said left testicle is smaller but normal.Ultrasound and urine reports are also normal but this pain does not go.The pain is mostly in epididymis of left testicle.During the past 19 years I felt pain only in left testicle and it never happned in right testicle but recently the pain has also started in the epididymis of right testicle which is really disturbing me.The pain is bearable but disturbing.I have no erection problem and before the age of 30 I used to have lot of nocturnal emission but now this doesn't happen often.My penis size is also smaller than average (3.5 erect) Does this have to do anything with the pain? Plz help me

Hi there!

Slight discrepancy in the size of the two testicles is normal and should not be anything to worry about. With infections/ inflammations ruled out possible causes of the pain that may need to be considered include trauma/ injuries, neuro-muscular causes, referred pain from other regions etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an internist initially and depending on the cause diagnosed/ suspected, it can be managed accordingly or specialist care may be sought.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
