Question 1

if you have  gonorrhea and swollen testicles and testicular pain what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Get treated: You need an injection of Ceftriaxone right away. (and pain medication.).

Question 2

i have gonorrhea, and my testical hurts. is this an indication that i had it for a long time? or is testicular pain normal at an early stage (3-4 wks)

Accepted Answer

Testicular Pain: Testicular pain is not a common side effect of having gonorrhea. I would look for other inflammation or other infection inside the scrotum.

Question 3

mass on right testicle, pain?

Accepted Answer

See doctor now: If the mass is truly in your right testicle, pain or no pain, you need urgent medical attention. There is nothing good that comes out of a mass on the testicle.

Question 4

can herpes cause testicle pain?

Accepted Answer

Unusual: Acute or classic genital herpes should not cause isolated testis discomfort.  Herpetic neuralgia can cause neuropathy and a host of symptoms.  Urologic evaluation and examination are important.   Please see a urologist.

Question 5

could sciatica cause testicle pain?

Accepted Answer

Not common, but yes: Sciatica is a condition where the sciatic nerve is irritated. The nerve is made up of branches from the 4th lumbar nerve (l4) down to the 3rd sacral nerve (s3). Scrotal and testicular sensation are typically provided by the s2 (racepinephrine) nerve. There are other more common causes of testicular pain, but disc herniation in the back can potentially cause this pain.

Question 6

can lifting weights cause testicle pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Intraabdominal pressure increases during lifiting. The pressure may be transmitted along the spermatic cord to the testicle. Be sure there is no hernia, infection, or tumor.  See a doctor.

Question 7

can testicle pain be easily mistaken by symphisis pain?

Accepted Answer

Usually not.: Pain at the pubic symphysis, or symphisis pubic dysfunction, is usually localized to the joint right at the pubis and is exacerbated by pelvic movements. This also usually occurs in pregnant women. Testicular pain is usually a dull ache that localizes to the testicle itself, and it's supply of nerves is from a different region of the body, up in the abdomen.

Question 8

after playing this morning's basketball game, my husband had left testicle pain?

Accepted Answer

Rule out torsion: Testicular torsion, can occur after physical activity, causes severe pain and needs to be checked asap. Please go to your local er if pain persists. Hopefully pain is due to some minor trauma.

Question 9

is blue balls a real thing? i experienced bilateral testicle pain several times before...

Accepted Answer

The process: BB is a lay description of penile/scrotal engorgement with blood when a male becomes sexually aroused. It also implies that sexual activity will not further allow the eventual completion of a sex act that would diffuse the arousal.  It might arise subconsciously, more in teens than older adults. It does not describe random unexplained testis pain.

Question 10

i woke with left testicle pain. it isn't constant. only when there is any amount of pressure. ?

Accepted Answer

Testicle pain: especially torsion of the cord needs to be evaluated at once.  Please see your doctor.  Torsion of the cord can mean loss of the testicle.  It MAY be a simple infection but you need to find out. Peace and good health.
