Testicles aching for 6 months

Its a mental unballance caused in some heavy pot smokers. you need to do series of stages of quitting and starting, and eventually your body will reverse the time your nuts hurt. for me my nuts hurt when i quit so i started again for 3 months and they started to hurt again so i quit and they havent hurt since. its been a year.

meaning our nut pain is all psychological.

dont count on bein better in a week man... epididymitis was the first thing they came up with for me as well and from the looks of it a few other guys on here, and the antibiotics they gave me to treat that did nothing for my problem. the problem may be related to but is not epididymitis my friend.

I have the best and simplest idea.

omg guys im 15 and smoke marijuana regularly. every time tho i seem to get an immense ammount of pain in my left testicle. im making a hypothesis that my varicocele and cyst in my left testicle have a part to play in this. my balls look dead to be honest O.o kinda scaring me and ide love to know if this is serious or what i could do about it. im mento be getting my varicocele removed in 2 months but its too long of a wait -.- please if some1 could help me thatd be amazing. the pain is unbearable.

I started smoking about six months ago, which totals to about 40 different occasions. The first time I was high I noticed a pain in the bottom of my right foot, as if I were kicked in the balls, only my balls were in my foot. Occasionally that same spot on my foot would feel uncomfortable after smoking, other times I wouldn't notice anything at all. The last six times or so that I've smoked marijuana, I noticed that same feeling of discomfort and minor pain, only this time it was in my testicles, occasionally in my lower back as well. I thought it was all in my head, so I didn't really think about it, and it would just go away by the time I woke up the next morning. The last time I smoked, I noticed the pain in my right testicle and continued to ignore it as usual. However, I noticed the more I smoked, the more intense the pain and discomfort became. I went to bed that night thinking it would go away as usual, but it continued into the next day and into today as well (three days later). The feeling of discomfort appears to travel from my right testicle, through my right leg, and to that same spot on the bottom of my foot. Rubbing my foot seems to temporarily fix the discomfort, which leads me to believe that it might actually somehow be a neurological thing like somebody else mentioned in here. It probably wasn't a good idea, but I smoked a small amount of marijuana last night. Surprisingly, the discomfort was mostly gone for a couple hours. When it wore off, the discomfort returned.

There also appears to be some sort of lump on my right testicle, which I noticed before but it was never painful so I thought nothing of it. I'm not a urologist, nor have I ever been to one, but it appears as though it could be epididymitis. But I am also confused because the discomfort seems to originate towards the bottom/back of the testicle, rather than on the lump which is towards the top of it. The pain and discomfort is bearable, but it's enough to piss me off. Someone really needs to get to the bottom of this mysterious condition, which I guess you could call "chronic" testicular discomfort. dohooho

Yeah, what is this? I really want to know. Going on well over a year with this issue now... I've been diagnosed with varicocele. Heavy balls. Aching, swelling. More swelling/ache while high. I wonder if it's really only varicocele and why weed would irritate that.

Same guy from 1/2/11 here. After about a week my condition started to become less noticeable. After another week, there was almost no pain. Since then I have smoked on multiple occasions and haven't felt anything comparable to the discomfort I felt at the beginning of last month (about two occasions where I noticed a slight "moving" feeling, but it's been multiple weeks since then). It seemed the more I focused on the other areas I was somehow feeling the discomfort simultaneously (right foot, right lower right back), and the possibility of it being psychological, it slowly faded away. I do however feel some sort of tiredness or soreness in my lower back after smoking, but this could be attributed to poor posture. Laying down seems to fix that problem for a while. While whatever I managed to do worked for me, I don't recommend anyone to continue smoking if your pain persists or worsens. Try to get this strange condition medically identified.

1/30/11 here. Yeah, I've since stopped with the weed, as of Feb 2. Coming onto two weeks soon. Definitely the way to go... the issue has improved quite a bit. I was fighting an uphill battle before, eating healthily yet *still* attempting to smoke weed habitually, even though it obviously made it worse. To everyone in this thread having issues and smoking, just give it a break. You'll thank yourself later. Every day you don't smoke is so much more progress in the right direction. And anyway, when you do smoke again, it'll be that much more novel and amazing. The negative effects of pot almost all come from overuse.

It does also seem like the pot/nut combo of pain could be psychological, like pot becomes linked to worrying about getting the nut pain, and maybe it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, a result of all the worry? And to stop with the weed for a while is to stop feeding that worry-centric ego that the pot was cultivating, as in how pot paranoia comes about from overuse.

I found these posts by googling testicle pain by marijuana. I have smoked pot 4-5 days a week for the past year, it hasn't been THAT long. before that it was infrequent use, once a months, once every few months, etc. As of the last few months, I have noticed abdominal pain and testiclular discomfort after smoking marijuana. I am not sure if marijuana is exageratting the pain or causing it, as lately I have noticed the pain at random times while sober as well, but almost every time after I smoke. I have already been to a urologist and I even went to the ER one night it hurt so bad. both doctors had sonograms done, and both doctors told me I was fine.....

Hey i have had this same problem since i was about 16, and I have visited multiple urologists, been diagnosed with varicocele on my left side, taken medications all to no avail. One doctor suggested i also had epididymitis, but tests proved otherwise. I am 20 years old now and smoke lots of pot and it still causes me pain to this day, but I have found a strategy/technique that i use sometimes that drastically reduces the pain, and I believe through practice it can become easier to perform the technique to hopefully one day end my/our pain!
It involves visualization of bright white light energy. While performing the exercise I have no pain and it seems to have residual effects which eliminate the severity of the pain even after i perform the exercise(s).   ***this post is edited by moderator *** ***

Im a 30 y/o male. I have smoked weed since the age of 16. I have had pain in my testiclles about 2 years ago from smoking weed. I then quit for almost 2 years because of this pain. It eventually went away. Stupidly I picked up this habit again after I fell on hard times and thought it would relieve my stress. 3 weeks after smoking marijuana again I get the same intense testicle pain as before. Its definatly a related issue. Im quitting again and never picking up this habit again.

I have had this issue for a few years...don't know why I waited so long to google it.  I think I was honestly scared to look it up for fear of seeing what it meant.  It's good to know that so many others get this too.  I too have had several ultrasounds, with similar diagnoses of epidymitis and varicocele.  I don't really notice it much in between smoking sessions, and I usually vaporize which seems to lessen it a bit.  The chemicals resting in the balls from one of the early posts is a bit of a scary thought.  Marijuana keeps me balanced in so many ways, and is something that I've viewed as a positive in my life for sleeping, motivation (I know, sounds crazy), making football even more awesome, making anything boring not boring anymore, etc.  Has anyone had a doctor actually take this seriously?  I live in CO and haven't seen a urologist since living here, but surely of all places they'd listen more in this weed-friendly state.  Anybody heard anything from the doctors other than what everyone else has heard?
