Posted: 05/20/07 - 18:53 Post subject: Slight testicular discomfort when sitting or lying down.
I've had slight discomfort in my testicles for a few days to a week now, like they're being softly squeezed or something. It comes and goes whenever I've been sitting or lying down as I'm fine when i stand or walk. I wouldn't really describe it as pain, just a small discomfort, mainly at the epididymis. The discomfort sometimes moves between each testicle or in the area between my leg and scrotum. I've looked through a lot of medical sites and I don't seem to have any other symptoms associated with testicular cancer, epididymitis or anything else. I was wondering if it could be from the way I'm sitting or a possible infection. I'm going to see the doctor about this soon, just wondering if anyone has ideas of what it could be in the mean time, thanks.
Hi, I have this exact same problem.
I am a long distance lorry driver and I have to travel extensively throughout Euope.
Over the past few months I have noticed very uncomfortable pains in my testicles region. I have tried numerous things to help ease the pain, some days it is worse than others and odd days I go without any pain at all.
My wife came across a possible solution which may be of help to you also.
She saw an article in a newspaper about some pants which offer support for the testicles. I had been moaning to her alot about my discomfort so she went on the website and bought me a pair.
I must say they have done wonders to my groin region. They offer great support and lift everything out the way from between my legs when I am driving/sitting. They are called Shreddies. I'd definitely recommend them, I know how fustrating and uncomfortable your problem is.
I hope this helps.
