Pain in left testicle or groin strain?

Can someone please help me with this problem, im starting to get worried.

Heres an update: The groin pain is mostly in the left side, but also can be less commonly in the right side. Sometimes I get an ache that goes down one or both legs, and have started to feel a bit weak...

Simular problem here. Here is what the doctor has done for me. If anyone has any other coments. Please fill free to give advice. Thanks!

I am 72 years old and my Right testicle has swelled up and I recently found a 3/8 lump on right side. The lump is very tender and it is very painful. I have unbearable pain in my groin and scrotum. The pain continues to be felt going up and around my back (near my kidney). It continues to hurt with an aching pain that runs down my right leg just below my knee.

I sometimes have problems Urinating and it can also be very painful to pee.

I had this same problem 5 years ago. My urologist had me take 1 Flomax pill each day and it did not help. He then prescribed a bright purple pill that also did not help. I finally was put in the hospital and was feed me medicine by IV. After 4 days in the hospital the swelling went down and everything was normal again. The doctor told me to take Prosar and – Decreases the size of the prostate) Takes a Flomax – Helps your pee flow


For the last 5 years I have been taking 1 Proscar pill and 1 Flomax pill day. I have had a hard time peeing.

Recently I have been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. The doctor said they caught it early and treated me with 28 Radiations Treatment and then followed up with 2 Needle implant treatments where they inserted 18 needles below my scrotum and they pumped radiation through it. I just finished up with the needle treatments and that was when my swelling began.

My doctor wanted me to wait to see if the swelling would go down and told me to wait a week. The swelling did not go down and I asked him to put me in the hospital to feed medicine by IV. I was hoping this would help. The IV has been feeding me medicine the past 5 days and that has not helped. The pain is unbearable and I am ready to loose a Testicle if needed.

Please help provide some alternative solutions or advise so I maybe able to discuss this with my doctor. We are both at a loss and do not what to do next.

this describes my condition exactly ---- ever figure out what the problem was???

Ive got the same problem..we gotta get this one figured out..it sucks man! My left testicle wil generally irritate more than the right and while walking its okay! But I never feel comfortable..its always at least aching! I had a urine test done and doc said it was clear and he did a testicle exam an said he didnt feel any lumps!! Kinda worried though...he mentioned that he thinks I may have a angual hernia (sports hernia), I dont know what to do! oh by the way, not to get to graphic but does it feel like you kinda have blue balls or that you got kicked in the nuts but it wont go away? Also, after sex I feel a little better but then the pain comes right back!

My husband has the same problem, they have found an infection and he is on antibiotics. CT and Ultrasound found nothing. Been two weeks, so far 4 days on anitibiotics slight improvement. You best get to your doctor for a urine test for infection.

My husband is going through a similar thing. You best get to your doctor. He has a infection and is on antibiotics. CT scan and ultrasound came up with nothing. We beleive it all started with a pulled groin muscle. A urine test for infection will tell right away. You don't want to leave it, my husband waited a week before going in and he ended up in major pain.

I've had a similar problem for years. The pain ebbs and flows in the left testicle. For me it's always brought on by strain and last October it became the worst it's ever been.



I've had urine tests, ultrasounds, tests for hernia, all negative. I've been to 3 urologists, a pain clinic, and 2 neurologists. I had a genitofemoral nerve block(created new soreness around the injection), a diagnosis of idiopathic orchialgia(which means "you're stuck with this"), a recommendation for a vasectomy, and another opinion that nothing can be done.



I'm taking Lyrica and Cymbalta which at least take the edge of the pain, but it's not fixing anything.



I'm seeing a physical therapist who does myofascial work (rectally) to try and loosen up tight pelvic floor muscles. She recommended a good book called "Headache in the Pelvis." So far, it's a good read and is giving me a little hope that this elusive problem could be cured.



There's also a possibility of PNE or Prudendal Nerve Entrapment, but that was discounted by the pain clinic and a neurologist in my case, but who knows, others might want to investigate this condition.



I sympathize to all those who are suffering. It affects work, relationships, mood, exercise, EVERYTHING.

I have the same thing but find it comes on after a workout (fairly heavey with squats also) to aleviate the pain i take hot bathes that allow the testicle to desend. after it has returned to normal it seems there is always a bit of ejaculte on the tip after the first few times i pee.

I likewiase have been to the doctor and nothing shows up.

I have the same pain and I don't know what is it

i have been having the same problem for about 3-4 weeks now. went to the dr. last week and i told him about the aches i had in my groin area, dont ask why , but i didnt tell him about the aches in my left testicle, he felt around for a hernia, he said he felt nothing. so 2 days ago i went to him again, this time i told him i was aching in my left groin area and left testicle, i told him i felt around my testicle to see if i could feel anything abnormal, i told him as far as i knew everything seemed fine, he then examined me again, said he couldnt feel anything in my testcle area, he then examined my groin area and this time he said i have a slight hernia. didnt say how long it would last, didnt say what i should do about it nothing. the aching occurs more when i sit on the computer for a while. when i lay down in my lazy boy chair, the aching seems to go away. it also seems to ache , or atleast i seem to feel it more also when i lay on my stomach on that side more. i wonder if this can be caused by anxiety and tesion also? ive been off work for the last 2 years now for anxiety, panic attacks etc. have tesion headaches, backaches, alot of tsion issues.

My left testicle is very uncomfortable. When I set down it bothers me alot!!!After laying down for a longer time (sleeping) I wake up feeling fine. I feel ok when im walking and just standing. Im really worried as to what can be the problem. I find out my ultrasound results on tuesday.

I just started on Lyrica for bilateral (Both) Orchialgia. I'm glad to see someone else is using this and has some relief. I've had this problem almost forever and am going to get long term nerve blocks in a few weeks. Why two drugs? Are you having any weird side effects from Lyrica?

Hello this is new to me as for posting. Researching again the same issue (and it is getting to the hot time of the year so again, enhanced pain) I have had for years worth of this issue of a dull ache(My left) groin pain as born with a varicose to the (Of course) left testicle as large as the testicle itself. Running at 50 years old, now with this constant pain gradually worse each year and getting me to a clinic anymore is virtually impossible after the gauntlet with Sutter Health in Yuba City. Seems the only problem was the tumor found that was the unlimited cash in my wallet (Over $20k so far). 10 Years before I attempted to resolve this issue with the same ridicule from Sutter North medical center and dr. beiler who kept medicating my wife for migraines that after she passed out 6 months later, emergency room etc found a tumor and cyst the size of a golf ball on her temporal lobe. What makes me mad as hell is a simple x ray showed this. Before the exam in the ER they assumed she was an over dose on drugs as the rest of the town. I was pissed of Rideout Memorial and their integrity. Hilariously after the x ray they couldn’t believe they had a real patient. No referral was ever done for these headaches just another prescription because”these are new”. She always giggled when the same reoccurring déjà vu euphoric day dream would happen “ We are up at Chuck’s ranch by the lake and something’s wrong” Then she would call Karen and find out if there mother in law was on her way down. Dr. Engel a neural surgeon started working there that week. I can’t thank you enough for being her angel. Three days after surgery she adamantly wanted to go home. Dr Engel released her with some new prescription with a warning to watch for a reaction of spots which a day later was happening and I called in. Dr Engel’s exchange had us go to the ER and I brought the other stuff with. The intern on duty A black guy so happy (It was voting Tuesday) cleaning off the gurney and tables with some used gown bragging how he wants the marijuana law to pass in Ca. (11 Years ago now?) So every one is on dope and how he’ll make more money. Dr. Engel has a prescription of some barbiturate for her and this guy throws a fit “You are a liar you’re lying! You are just looking for drugs! Nobody has brain surgery and leaves 4 days later” I amazes me of the arrogance and the stupidity I have had to deal with No wonder the joke is walk in “Ride-Out” I have BC BS major medical so it means I have to pay for everything and appropriately renamed them the blue bastards. I believe insurance is a polite word for legalized extortion. The head trips that of these so called doctors and the rest of us are just cattle to the slaughter so what ever pays they will gear up for and if you fall out of this spectrum; to bad.. YOYO (Yur On Yur Own) Thru the “Normal” channels is the care everyone gets. Then alone with the urologist stating that I was “self diagnosing” “Looking for pain drugs” and “You should suffer” I t amazes me that many of these manipulative bastards aren’t shot. I didn’t even take aspirin. (Now I do, That Naproxum Sodium 1 tab helps the pain though) The only thing I do take is GNC Mega men. Cynically anymore I have to laugh at the mid day commercials on TV promoting to go to learn to help ruin someone else’s life and I place the medical profession as corrupt. It has since it has been 4 years I have gone to a doctor and will purchase another Lincoln with the cooled seats instead… As for the recent chronological (4 years ago): It is embarrassing enough and as age goes there is time to follow through with this. I started the Atkins diet and lost 40 pounds. The irregularity from lack of fiber and the hard pushing caused immeasurable pain to where several times going to the family doc and finally having to “get bent” to get some action as the radiation was from below my rib cage (Left side) clear down my left leg. (Rest of my family still goes, Good Guy. Any more I am grading my life on a curve.) This went to an appointment with a colonoscopy which came back excellent. Then to some donut looking scanner with a dye IV injection this showed a scar on a kidney, which one I don’t know but no issue. They called the same first name as mine and someone else jumped up and took off, My appointment was an hour late. They call name again I go to the counter to find out that that I was already done so the 10 minutes that they shoved me thru this donut cost $2000.00. I paid this. And after the mix-up I asked if I was paying for both and why it took long e for the other “Joe” to come out??? Well anymore I guess “Moooo”
Then off to the local id**t urologist…
I asked for an ultrasound to see the point of pain that is at my lower left abdomen with no avail. Don’t know if the donut machine did this already. This pain point is at the V of the groin and basically have a hard time getting moving in the morning. I sleep on this location as holding pressure on it. Getting a sock on this foot is terrible as to lift the leg puts pain in this V location. Maybe 2 issues plus I still hate the medical system. As for the fiber and being regular this has helped a lot. Loosing the weight and exercise did not help at that point back to 265. It just started the issues of how learn to operate my body even though it really took off the weight / got to 219 and stuck. Retrain eating habit for regularity. Less push less pain. Recently I found that taking C supplement has helped enormously with the mild bowl irritability, but noticed dry nails easily chipped.

Well for my experience as a child I got tired of being prodded and lied to be left alone of the issue. Physically active some injuries probably the scar and pissing blood but it went away no harm no foul young adult stuff never went to doc. Unfortunately age has it’s issue of enhancing things. So briefs or boxers. Boxers; but sometimes I need the support. Yes standing or walking alleviates the pain. Sitting which the testicle just happens to lay on epididymis. This sends the dull ache that will radiate thru the leg , backside, groin. Cool helps. At one time I was running and this groin V location stung like hell. Still no answers, cant find anything wrong. I have settled into my lot in life and am not going to get screwed anymore by this medical system. I fear if they admit will be because they need parts for a donor match. Ill be setting there wondering who sent flowers…

Sorry for the jumping around, but remember your own best interests. If you went to a gas station and the service was c**p you move on. Just like public schools, get a voucher, move to a good district, let them go out of business.

Hi, 22 y/o male here,

About a week ago, I got this strange ache / pain feeling near my left testicle. I have checked for lumps and abnormalities but found nothing. I cant pinpoint whether the pain is in or near the testicle (in the scrotum) or some sort of groin strain. The last physical activity I did was change the oil in my car, which I had to squat for a while to do. Could this be the cause of the pain, or is it pointing to varicocele or some infection?

Im not sexually active, and the pain seems to be worse when I sit down. Walking is no hassles, I can barely feel it while walking. (I also have a slight nauseas feeling in the stomach when eating, but that might'nt be related.)

So, what could this be??

My husband is going through a similar thing. You best get to your doctor. He has a infection and is on antibiotics. CT scan and ultrasound came up with nothing.

As normal male, the left testicle hangs lower. The Epididymis on the testicle when ' for me' when I sit ends up being rested on and with in a few minutes this ache will follow that will last for the day. Kind of the recovery time pain of a boot to the balls. Hence "Boxer shorts" Driving can be agony so reajusting my junk can alliveate some of this issue. I have confermed triggering this just by supporting at the "Epididymis" location for a few moments and the pain goes thru the groin area. I find myself scooting forward on chairs so things can hang. The time period causes (20 minutes?) the mind to run that there is a problem and not putting a finger on it (This is what I did to support the testicle at the Epididymis location to trigger the pain so no pun intended (ha ha)) causes anxity wondering whats going wrong hence running back and forth to these non divulgent doctors. (They have house payments too...) Also COMFORTABLE clothing that wore great ONCE before wash then you need a shoehorn to get back into.. Too tight, heat from heavy clothes, getting old, and of course all that money these insurance and doctors need...
