Testicle Pain after eating spicy foods

I tend to eat a lot of spicy food. I have just recently started to experience this(1 week). It seems to swell from the abdomen down.. Though, like original poster described it goes down after passing the bowel movement... any thought on this?

i have same problem, what could it mean? no more spicy food for me? or a more serious issue?

I have the same problem, but a bowel movement doesnt help, it used to start at my stomach and work its way down to my nuts, but now it goes straight for the balls, it is not just discomfort it hurts, after hurting for 3-4 hours i get sick from the pain and throw up, then it will go away, but it doesnt have to be spicy food, but it seems all spicy foods do it, and fast food, this has been a real problem for me and have been hospitalized 3 times for it, they keep telling me they cant find nothin wrong, at 6 foot tall i was 167 lbs, which is still pretty skinny, im now down to 143, and its been dropping almost daily, if somone can find an answer to this it would be a life saver....i also notice after i throw up, the food is almost complety undigested....came out the same way it looked goin in

I might have your answer:

Hey friend, it sounds like you have crohn's disease. Take care

I frequently have this problem as well. However; the severity of the discomfort varies depending on the type of spicy food. For me; it happens if I eat a lot (and I mean a LLLLLLLLLOT) of jalapeño slices as a side with food...much like folks would eat chips with a sandwich. In this case; symptoms include severe discomfort starting in my kidneys and moving to my testicles where it stays until it develops into a rumbling in my guts...later into gas. After the gas stage; the discomfort passes, it turns into 2 to 3 mad dashes to sit on the throne. These symptoms are the same with the more extreme spicy foods such as habeneros, ghost chilies, and Carolina Reapers. With these peppers though; the side effects are much more severe and always end with hot lava-like feeling on the exhaust port (yes...its as a painful as it sounds). However; I've discovered a remedy that helps to lessen the pain and discomfort l...if not evade it all together. Prior to eating spicy foods that make you suffer post-consumption; you can use Pepto-Bismol (follow the dosage label). If you wait till the pain starts; Pepto may work as usual, but not as quickly. My diagnosis (I'm not a doctor) ; the whole thing has something to do with effecting the kidneys...seeing as how the pain can be felt later in the testicles.

I had this problem for about three years at age 45, went through very many tests,scans,ultrasounds,ex rays and then 1 surgery to remove my epididymis .(waste of $6000). The doctors kept saying nothing was wrong and they basically told me it was a mental condition, because they didnt know what it was.

Finally went to a urologist in Grand Rapids, Mi. and he new what it was and how to fix it. I will say your on the right track with the certain foods that effect it.
What probably happened is you kind of "pulled a muscle" by trying to push to hard on a bowel movement. The problem is not an allergy to food it is just that some foods/drinks aggravate it and dont allow it to heal. It is completely curable!

Once I found this out I was skeptical but tried to follow their instructions as best i could. It took about 6 months to heal, but my case seemed worse than most. A couple times I had to lie down because it was so bad (like getting kicked in the balls, but only the left one)

What you need to do is eat more fiber to allow easy stools for a long period of time so it can heal. If it wont come out, wait a while until you dont have to push it out.

Applesauce,cherries,bran flakes and such are your new best friends along with most fruits and vegetables. (google high fiber diet)
Exercise will help keep things moving especially if you have a desk job.

There are a bunch of things to avoid though, which are very important!!!
Tomato based everything including pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce, ketchup, etc.
Chocolate :(
Most condiments are not good (especially BBQ sauce) but mustard is okay.
Avoid all drinks except for Water, milk and small amounts of apple juice. It is tough at first, but you get
used to it.
Stay away from any lemon,lime, and orange things.
Fast food and fried food like french fries and doughnuts
Most boxed products are not good, but healthy cereals and limited amounts of fiber one bars are okay.
Red meat is harder to digest than chicken and fish so try to only eat a serving of that every few days.
As noted in other post, spicy food is also on the list.

I am probably forgetting a couple things but you get the idea. if you eat something and later your stomach feels like someone tied your intestine in a knot, dont eat it next time. Massaging your stomach can help especially where it seems tight. Right to left above belly button and straight down below the belly button.

After I was healed I started eating everything again and couldn't believe it worked. I thought i would have the pain for the rest of my life, which at times made me start to consider suicide because it was so bad. Be careful though it can come back. I went pain free for over a year and was eating things like tomatoes, chocolate, lots of soda and junk food and it came back so I am towing the line again now.
Hope this helps. Ron

thank for the tips, I will try this.

Well the answer is true some oliy and fermentation food creates problems ,check your diet than go for change in food very simple

What is it called that you had? Pulled muscle I don't understand? Been in pain for over a year, only lifting up my legs 45 degrees or higher helps. I went on keto diet for a while and helped but pain is back again.

I do not think there is a name for it. If you have been to a good urologist and they have ruled out the other 100 cause of testicle pain, I would try this. My pain had different levels of intensity which seemed directly related to what I ate and drank. If this is what you have you can not just cut back on the foods I described, you have to eliminate them. I think the keto diet is a good start but you also have to eliminate things like ketchup, coffee, most condiments, sauces, chocolate, caffeine and all other drinks that are not water,milk and apple juice (all natural cider with no preservatives is better). also, eat more fiber and drink more water.

I am no doctor but I believe the muscle that is the issue is the one right near the anus used to help push out a bowel movement. Eating more fiber will make it easier to have a bowel movement so this muscle can relax. You can also try to not use this muscle by pushing with your stomach muscles.
If this is your issue and you follow what I said you should have less pain in a few weeks but plan on at least 6 months before your back to normal. At that time slowly start reintroducing these foods to monitor if your all better. or need to continue for a little longer.

I was about the say this. I myself have crohns disease, I'm 27 good weight. I only get this from certain spice and chilli. I have to completely clear my bowels before the pain stops, suffering right now from spicy wings last night. I know it doesn't help but I call it chilli nuts, the most fitting name I could think of. All diet related, don't eat spice and trial and error till you find the specific ones. Also be like me and just eat whatever and deal with the feeling the next morning hahaha whoops. Have also heard people with IBS suffering the same thing.

It may be a vericose vein problem

I have the same issue and it gives me sleepless night. I went for urine test twice because of this. I was in pain and worried when I saw ur Post. Thanks bro
