Ok.. first let me start of by saying.. im a hypochondriac.. at least.. I think i am hahha.. as i tend to get worked up over anything wrong or seemingly wrong with me..
as i have read it is good to do i give myself regular examinations (blood pressure heart rate.. etc etc)
well recently i started getting a minor.. and infrequent dull pain.. more of an ache that seemed to shoot from behind my left testicle.. up into the left side of my groin... it feels.. much like.. perhaps a strained or pulled muscle..
sometimes.. the pain moves to the right side.. and shoots to the right side or even middle of the abdominal area... but mostly its the left side..
let me list what facts i have thus far discovered..
1: wearing underwear makes it hurt less, boxers.. it hurts more.. (even at more, the pain is minor)
2: laying down full alleviates the pain.. almost instantly..
3:after jogging (2 miles a day) actually about 2 hours later.. the pain is at its "worst"
4: i sometimes. get a very minor burning sensation in my penis after unrination..
5: urin WAS a little cloudy (isnt now) semen is normal.
6: i have a "mass" not a lump.. but more like.. the veins/giblets (yea... i called the giblets) behind my left testicle are perhaps inflamed.. or swollen to a small degree.. its very soft and i can ONLY notice it AT ALL after taking a shower.. when everything is like.. relaxed.. err down there.. 8-|
3 days ago i went ahead and started myself on an Amoxcillian treatment, 2 500mg caps per day one with breakfast, one after dinner..
since then the pain has lessened from very minor to almost undetectable.. actually.. if i wasnt thinking about it.. i wouldent even notice it.. but since im looking for it.. i am aware of a slight.. very very slight discomfort..
now.. being a hypochondriac.. the first time i noticed the alleged "mass" i flew straight into "oh my god its cancer mode" but after reading alot online and talking to many people i have been told that//
A: many men have abnormalities or even lumps in their scrotum that is totally benign and nothing.
B: testicluar cancer is not catagorized by any sort of pain and generally any gowth is on the testicle itself.. not a free standing mass within the scrotum...
im tending to think that i probably just have an Urinary tract infection.. and the amoxcillian is doing its job.. (as the pain is becoming less and less)
im considering going to a Urologist.. even though i doubt this is anything to worry about.
I just wanted a second opinion and this place seems to have some deacent advice.

Hey there,
Reading your symptoms and your treatment with antibiotics, it seems like you had a slight inflammation of your urinary tract. However these symptoms could interpret something different like some STD.
Using antibiotics of any kind (Amosciklav, Amoxcillian, Peniciline, etc.) needs to be managed during period of 2 weeks. Most of the people use antibiotics as far as the problem is resolved, but the inflammation will come again in few days if you don't accomplish full treatment, mostly recommended 2 weeks or minimum 10 days.
Anyway, my suggestion is to check it out with your urologist, if the inflammation is still present of course ;-)
You made good job searching the web regarding the testicle cancer info. Most of the people don't know some crucial facts about testicle cancer.
Take care, mate!

if you are sexually active than you have clamidia, check with you doctor
You have a VERICOSCELE it is a mass of blood vessels near the left testicle. I have the same thing. The discomfort is relieved by lying down because when you do all of the blood drains from the vessels.
Vericosceles are harmless. Some men report discomfort or even pain that comes and goes. Surgery is an option, however the results are usually not successful and in many cases exacerbate the problem.

so have you checked it with a doctor yet? i have similar symptoms minus the burning sensation while urinating and its on my right side..
Hi,
I have a slight lumpy mass of i suppose veins at the back lower side of my testicle. I dont have any pain but it feel slightly odd and a little unconfortable when i wear loose underwear. and doesnt feel very nice. I first thought it was a VERICOSCELE but after research they are usually found near the head of the epydidymis i think anyway??? the mass of veins in my scrotum are around the tail of the epydidymis, directly under and to the back of my left testicle. Can anyone tell me what this could be, im hoping it isnt cancerous.
thanks

perhaps you have an inguinal hernia
I have had the exact same problems as you. Mine happened when running up stairs and i went to the doctor and he checked for a herina, I didnt have one. He said it was a pulled muscle and nothing to major. It hurt in my groin area when standing for a long period of time. Good luck and tell me your results ***edited by moderator*** ***emails not allowed***
any one get any releif from marijuana icecream bars and hash cookikes?
i find that my vericoscele seems to hurt less after ingesting or smoking marijuana. (honestly i don't remember feeling much of anything after eating a bunch of pot brownies)
i think i have what you are talking about. its like the tubes are bigger than they should be but is like giblets yeah.
i had an ultra sound and they siad it was like varicous veins. it is sometimes unconfortable . if i smoke i am aware of it more as it makes me a bit paranoid about it.
anyway go to your doctor, he gets payed to do that so don;'t be worried.
