Testicles aching for 6 months

So fromm experience this is what you all need to do: Stop masterbating Stop smoking weed Exercise Healthy diet And one more thing to get you through the night: heat sac (raw white rice inside a sewed fabric pouch.. Heated in the microwave for 3 minutes) stick that on your jewels and the pain recedes..much easier to pass out

So I just posted above and i followed these things and my pain was gone in a week. Hasn't come back yet!

I'm just making this post so I get email notifications, I had forgotten to register, I am "tiredofthepain"

LISTEN i am 20 and these past 3 and a half months ive been from pain level to 2 to 6 or even a good 7 on lower right testicle and i had a ultrasound the first month they found nothing,and i went back almost 2 months and she found fluids under my testicle pretty fast with ultrasound, all he could think of is varococele,but my friend has stage 3 vero and said its horrible so i play the waiting game i got prescribed vicodin the first month then had to go through a kind of withdraw and i smoked alot of weed these past months cause i didnt know that could effect it but the weed makes it more enlarged i found out so and i went to my main doctor then only one i trust and said i hurt my lmpyhnodes or veins from smoking for 5 to 6 years alot and i used to have a BRUTAL cough when i smoked sometimes after the after i worked construction it hurt the 2nd day after i was shoveling rocks  in the rain for almost 2 and a half hours which prob started this whole mess it was probally too much stress and pressure and i skated everyday and smoked alot and took zantex sometimes so my body taught me a lesson but it was the weed and i didnt know it cus  i found out by fighting for 3 months for a ct scan with my insurance and they thought i had an infection cus the fluids so i took kaflex for 2 weeks then got report for ct and it showed i was 12 mm enlarged and my main doc said the more u smoke the worse it can probally get and i didnt know i went throught a depressing crazy stage cause this can do that to a man when u dont know whats going on down there  and cant do anything and so this is my 2nd day with no weed from last visit with my main doctor after a urelogest and i went to the ER thats where they found the swelling i remember having 2 good days on cinco de mi yo i drinked and walked alot on the beach and the next day it hurt and i did alot of chorres a month later but i feel like if i did not smoke it would not have been as bad so im not going to lie it does feel a little better and what my doc. said was making sense but i still GOT a referall to a surgeon and i found out i can get a biopsy first they drain it out and see what it was im going in a week next friday if it isnt better but im laying off the weed and icing it and hot showers or water and not to much exercise cause the doctor told me getting anything needle drainage or surgery isnt natural for the body so i have 1 more week of this but its not as bad as the first 2 months cause i was smoking so much so in a week if im still in discomfort i have a referall but here my thing...if this goes away naturally,i feel there could be reoccurance if have smoke again after a long time or even chill with a girl, i told my mom if i do that when im better,, and it hurts the next day i have the referall so ill get it drained out but im glad its not testicular cancer cause the CT would have shown it but thats why the urologest gave me to a biopsy cause its been so long and i had to explain so many times wats going on ..but so i dont think i have varococele cause my main doc. said 12mm is so small it can prob go away naturally but if i cant smoke ever again even a little at night a couple times a week even in 5 or 10 years i just want to know if im gonna be in pain the next day so im gonna give it another week without smoking its very hard to sleep im adhd thats why i smoked weed but he gave me somthing like almost the opposite of adderal cause i dont need to be hyper and sleeping is hard without weed as it is right now ..BUT IF ANYONE HAS SOMETHING SIMILIAR TO THIS I CAN GIVE U GOOD TIPS..CAUSE MY FRIEND HAS SATAGE 3 VEROCOELE AND HIS IS VERY DIFFERENT HE SAID U CAN SEE HIS THROUGH THE SKIN OR SOMETHING SO I THANK GOD I DONT HAVE THIS  ..BUT I KNOW HOW THIS PAIN IS, DONT SMOKE WEED IT CAUSES MORE DAMAGE FOR NOW ATLEAST SO I KNOW BUT CONTACT ME IF U DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH UR TESTES  AND HOW SHOWERS OR ICE BOTH WONT HURT AND DONT DO TOO MUCH STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES OR GET A CT SCAN CAUSE THIS DID CHANGE MY LIFE IN A WAY IVE BEEN ON THE COMPUTER DOING RESEARCH ABOUT ALOT OF STUFF SO PUT ON MUSIC AND DONT SMOKE WEED IT RELAXES YOUR BRAIN BUT DOENST HELP DOWN THERE I CAN REPORT BACK IN A WEEK OR SO AFTER I FOUND OUT WHATS GOING ON ..CONTACT IF YOU DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH UR TESTICLE OR GROIN IF ITS A STRAIN TO A FLUIDS TO VERO TO CANCER HOPEFULLY NOT THE LAST ONE AND I HOPE U ALL DO WELL AND TRY TAKING AN ALEVE OR SOMETHING STRONGER IF NEEDED,SLEEP ON UR BAK OR BETTER SIDE I FEEL LIKE MOST LIKELY BUT I DIDNT DO ANYTHING FOR SO LONG I HAVE MUSCLE AMPUTATION LIKE I LOST MUSCLE  in my knee i feel like or mucle weight cause my right leg used to be my good leg now its my left cause ive been leaning on it cause walking around and marijuana wasnt the best so feel free to reply sorry its so long ive just had experience in this and id like to help others so they dont feel the need to go crazy and take something or do something stupid its not worth it ,id rather live life sober and healthy than my ball sack hurt cus of weed..ive learned that now the hard way but everything happens for a reason

same thing.........groin pain when I quit. gotta be weed related

Okay I came to help. I had chronic epididymitis
. It was not from infection but just inflammation. It took me almost 2 years to heal but I did it. I did it through a long process of stretching all of my muscles in the leg and around the groin. I think it is something to do with sitting too long . Ur muscles and nerves become damaged , inflamed and week. So i started eating healthy, exercising , and stretching!!!! No caffeine that makes it worse. Get off ur butt because sitting to long damages your body. I'm telling you! Stop sitting!!!! Marijuana smokers tend to sit a lot!

@dontlosehope Hi, I have similar problem, i used to sit for too long....and i agree with whatever u said above. Its been more then a year now i have pain in my left testicle. but after a lot of visits to different hospitals there is no progress and the pain is still same. after seeing my two times usltrasound reports every doctor said its infection or cysts or epididymitis. i have also tried homeopathic madicine but no results. :(, Now i have made myselft to live with that pain. :( ~ grover

Agree that caffeine makes it worse. Has come back for me even after pot so maybe it's not related? Doc said it was a pulled groin. Hope that's all it is but I have had this coming back at different levels for years now. Almost ready to puff again just to make it go away! Will agree sitting makes it worse....walking or doinsomething I am fine

Hey guys ...I've been smoking since 3 y or somethign liek that...a few times i felt the described pain and it was from really good weed...I guess some weed harms ur testicules more than other.... I havent felt the pain since i began smoking...but If i had bigger problems I would have stopped :) stop smokin or dont smoke so much

I think we all need to see the similarities in our problems. We are all relatively young, and smoke a lot of weed, and probably sit a lot/become inactive because of it.  Ive noticed after a long 3 years of smoking weed every day I am starting to get this problem.  I quit for one day and it did not seem to get any better.  I actually had a horrific sleep because of it and the worrying.  These posts made me feel a little better, but I will still see a doctor soon to make sure its not testicular cancer or anything fixable.   I am adamant about quitting for a long period of time to see what happens.  It is starting to become horrific.  I think sitting less will also help, and just the fact that I am more aware i will keep my balls in safer spots(LOL)(ex. sleeping, sitting, what clothes you wear).  Also, I am drastically going to increase my health through eatings habits and definitely no caffeine.  I will try other methods and get back on the progress.  Best advice i can give so far is take a long break and see where you are at because obviously smoking the weed cant be helping. I read an article about pot being linked to testicular cancer. Cannaboid receptors are somehow linked to sperm making.  51% of the people who had testicular cancer admitted to smoking on occasion during the week.  Thats the 51% who actually told the doctors about their habit.  Look online there are a bunch of studies.  Best of luck to all of us on this problem.  I know having a strong positive outlook on life and genereal can only help.  Wanting this pain to go away alone will help.  Meditate and focus on alleviating the pain using the energy in your body.  It sounds crazy but the power of your mind goes a long way.  Don't let the problem get worse with a habit of paranoia and excessive worrying.  I am taking my last hit as we speak!  I really hope and pray this problem goes away.

Does anyone think this problem could be linked to not having your wisdom teeth pulled out?  Seems crazy but my wisdom teeth are now completely in and this testicle problem just started happening. Or  Could be the fact that I'm more matured and responsive to my body.  

I've been smoking pot for 7 years. This year I started getting pains in what I thought was my nuts, but I think it's my prostate. It aches like hell for about an hour after I smoke then it eases up until I smoke again... It's terrible. I was convinced I had an std until I've read all this. I can't afford to see a doctor at the moment but I am going to as soon as I can. If anyone finds out a home remedy or how to ease the pain without quitting marijuana please share.

I had the same problem. I have smoked for the last 3 years and one day smoked, got an unbelievable pain in my right testicle. It actually went around to deep inside my right ass cheek, and down the bottom of my right leg. The pain was terrible while i was high for about 20 minutes, then lessened and continued a dull pain throughout the week. I went to see my doctor after 5 days and he said it was torsion, completely unrelated to marijuana, and I did tell him that I was high and smoking when this happened. Currently I'm taking Meloxicam for residual pain, but I can't help shake the feeling that it wasn't torsion at all, but something that was related to me smoking the weed. We need to all keep posting here and have follow up discussions about this topic, as it is really serious. I'm going to try to smoke a little bit soon again, and I will post again on here how it goes. Good luck to you all.

What's up concerned weed smokers. I took some time reading what people had to say about they're experiences with weed. I am 23 male asian (filipino) I just decided I wanted to share my thoughts with everyone here also based on my experiences. I have been smoking weed since I was 16, pretty heavily ( joints,blunts, pipes mainly 2 to 4 sometimes 5 times a day) 4 out of the 7 years. Did not really pay attention to my testicles until I felt discomfort within the groin area and some sharp pains on the left testicle for a couple of days when i hit age 20.. Automatically I assume its the weed. I did not want to stop Smoking but concerned enough to do somthing. Invest in a vaporizer. Its is the cleanest and healthiest way when intaking weed. Now they have portable ones and are small enough to use anywhere. Yes it may be a bit costly for some people but its worth it trust me. If that doesn't satisy you get "1 hitter" pipes. You literally need a .1 to have a good hit. Your tolerance will also decrease which is benifitial. I noticed even if I smoke blunts or even joints the high with vaporizers and 1 hitter pipes last longer and yet i. Smoked much less. After transitioning into this I have felt NO PAIN what's so ever even until this day.. And I still get to feel high. My testicles are precious to me and I'm sure you guys feel the same way.We all know weed is not good for the body perioid so I even included daily excersise 20 min 3 to 5 days a week To ensure no more pain will return. I highly. Recommend you do so which I feel is the key to no more pains. I would also like to say is that there are many different types of weed that out there that you just don't know what is in it. And can effect your body and can mess you up. have a supplier who you trust and is consistent having the same weed. I hope this helps because it definitely helped me. I am now 1 week. Sober and will continue to be. There will be that day when you know you should stop I suggest you don't wait for it. Sorry for long reply. Thanks and Godbless .... EXCERSISE!!!

You gotta stop smoking pot for a few weeks and your testes will feel normal again I had to learn the hard way yes I smoked for bout 10 years non stop I quit for 4 days now and feel great its da pot bro try it flush ya system and thank me later thats why they say it makes you infertal my ball would stay in the way when sittin in car or chair now im good I thank God
