I am going to try and explain as much as I can about what is going on and Hopefully somebody can help me out.
Ok, I am 19 years old, Currently in college, About a month ago (maybe a little more) I noticed a slight testicular pain More commonly in my left but I do sometimes notice it in my right. It was only a mild pain so I didn't see anything of it and it was pretty infrequent. As of two weeks ago on Wednesday (24st October I noticed that the pain was much more frequent so I started to worry, I got really worked up about it and decided to tell my parents. They got me a doctors appointment for the next day. at the doctors I was asked a variety of questions to which I answered truthful, Then I was examined by the doctor and he said there are no abnormalities and that there was nothing to worry about as it wont be anything serious. That put my mind at ease a little so I went home. that night and the next day I was home all day, so I couldn't stop worrying about it and the anxiety made it 10 times worse, I ended up getting another doctors appointment with a different doctor on the Friday (26th October He pretty much asked me the same questioned to which I answered truthfully and he also examined me and did a few tests. He also could not find any abnormalities and told me that there was nothing to worry about. After being told by two doctors that there is nothing wrong I have been much calmer. But I still feel the pain and i just cant take my mind off i and don't know what to do.
I already have to deal with chronic neck pain due to a dislocation and just don't want to have to live with another pain.
There are some days where I don't feel it as bad and some days are worse but the point is, Its still there and I don't know what it is..
I have recently rang the doctor again and he told me that if It would put my mind at ease that they can arrange an ultrasound if I wanted to, But because no physical problems have been found then the chances of something being found will be incredibly low.
I have felt completely fine and well throughout the time I have been experiencing the pain other than the anxiety. and Physically I cannot find anything wrong, My urine and sperm are normal and nothing in particular aggravates the pain or makes it worse. Out of ten id say the pain is a 2 but its more the worry than the pain that is bothering me.
I have done multiple self exams and have found nothing, Both doctors have found nothing. They are not sore to touch and I have no discharge...
I just don't know what to do? Its such a mystery. Maybe i should get the ultrasound to be sure. What do you guys think?
Please! can somebody at least give me some advise.
Yes its been two weeks bringing the total time of this complaint to about 2 months.. It hasn't really worsened but I have some bad days and some better days.
I am pretty positive there are no lumps on my testicals, I have been checked by two doctors and neither found anything, Still no discharge or abnormal fluids (urine & sperm normal)
I just don't know what to thing.. I haven't had an ultrasound and I think that's the main thing that's causing my anxiety, The fact I don't know for certain it isn't something bad... But to be honest, its been 2 months, I haven't worsened at all and i have had no other complains, Everything is normal and no lumps. So i doubt anything sinister is wrong.
But its seriosuly just because I feel the pain and i have no idea what it is, and i just want it to go away!
You need to see a Urologist and ask him about Varicoceles. It takes Ultrasound and/or CT Scan (Both Painless) to diagnose them. At your age it could prevent you from having children without treatment. Treatment for me was painless. I had it done this morning (I'm 50's and it was because of years and years of unnecessary pain). Go see the correct Doctor ask questions, don't count on Doctors. YOU must manage your own health and don't give up just because the Doctors do.
