Depends: The term hernia can apply to different areas of the body &amp; varies in size/effect. If your hernia follows the path where the testis came down during fetal development, it can impair the blood flow that supplies the testis. This could trigger pain.

if you feel testes pain you need to go to the er for a formal exam by a doctor.

Question 7

for 10 days i have groin and testicular pain 20 years after inguinal hernia repair. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Get exam: Need more info..Could be recurrence of prior hernia or development of new hernia. Could also be epididimytis or some other inflammation of testicle, even torsion. Need more info or you should just get examined ASAP to resolve your question.

Question 8

can an ingenial hernia cause testicle pain at times? testicle isnt sore to the touch but hurts at times sudden movements or getting up?

Accepted Answer

: An inguinal hernia enters the space where the blood supply (artery/vein) for the testis is present. The hernia can compress these vessels and this might be responsible for episodic pain. It would be one of many reasons to get it fixed while you feel healthy. Hernias can get trapped while down and end up needing an emergency fix when you may not be prepared for the best outcome.

Question 9

if you have epididymitis from an std could the only symptom be a sore testicle from time to time? or would you have discharge etc. also under a lot of stress could anxiety and stress cause testicle pain here and there? i also have two ingenial hernia?

Accepted Answer

: Epididymitis due to STD is an acute infection that responds to antibiotics -- never chronic with recurrent or on-and-off symptoms. And it usually does not cause only a sore or tender testicle; almost always the testicle is enlarged and hardened, with tenderness to touch. Testing always shows gonorrhea or chlamydia. It sounds unlikely you have epididymitis; or if you due, not caused by an STD.

Question 10

testicle pain a symptom of hernia?

Accepted Answer

Yes possible: Yes when hernia is protruding along the cord can give pain, even though testile itself do not have sensary nerves.
