Question 1

what are some reasons for sudden and sharp pains in one or both testicles?

Accepted Answer

Testicular pain: Testicular torsion, in which the vascular stalk supplying a testis is twisted, usually involves only one testis. It is a surgical emergency, for if not corrected, the testis dies & becomes non-functional. Other causes: inflammation/infection of the testis (orchitis) or the sperm storing structures (epididymitis) or both may require antibiotics. Trauma to the testes may lead to hematoma. See dr now.

Question 2

i'm 21, male, i'm 6 ft tall, and weigh 195 lbs. having moderate to sever sharp pains in lower abdomen and testicle region a couple times/week, cause?

Accepted Answer

Hernia?: Very vague, could be anything from a hernia to Gastrointestinal or even genitourinary. I recommend seeing your primary care doc, maybe a CT scan of your abdomen and pelvis.

Question 3

what cause sharp pain in the testicles?

Accepted Answer

Many causes.: If there is swelling it could be a torsion or infections.Depending on your age if the pain is new and severe you need to be seen right away.If it has been intermittent muscle strain is a possibility.

Question 4

i have intermittent sharp pain that sometimes hurts one or both of my testicles.

Accepted Answer

Compression: Sitting for long periods of time can cause compression of the testicles especially if pants and underwear are tight.  Other causes can be development of inguinal hernias, development of a condition called hydroceles (fluid filled sac that protrudes into scrotum compressing vessles to the testicles), trauma to testicles from not wearing underwear at all, twisting of testicle inside scrotum, more...

Question 5

my girlfriend accidentally pulled one of my testicles down and there was a sharp pain which lasted one second. is this dangerous? thank you.

Accepted Answer

The quick answer is: when and for how long did it hurt  you can have a torsion of  a testicle and should follow up with an internist or in the er if it continues to hurt

Question 6

my gf accidentally pulled one of my testicles down and there was a sharp pain which lasted one second above my testicle in the chord. dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely serious: Everything is almost certainly fine as pain has gone.

Question 7

on and off sharp pain for like 2 seconds in one testicle? also have had an achy groin?

Accepted Answer

: There can be many reasons for that- commonest a mild strain. Use dry heat to groin for10-15 mts 3 times a day, avoid heavy lifting and wear a supporting underwear. You should be OK

Question 8

what could be the cause of a sharp pain which would happen two , three times of the year only between the area of testicles & anus , few inches inside?

Accepted Answer

See remark: The prostate is in perineum,area between scrotum and
anus...You could have prostate irritation.You could have hard stools and sometimes may irritate that area.
If this is annoying,see a urologist

Question 9

sometimes but rarely my left testicle which is larger than  right one has a sharp pain it. what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Testicular pain: A painful testicle can be a symptom of swollen veins inside the scrotum (varicocele).  This can result in one testicle being larger than the next and painful.  A tumor is also possible as is epididymitis.  You should see a urologist and have an examination and possibly an ultrasound of your testicles.

Question 10

husband has had sore testicles for one month. not sharp pain just very sore. on self examination one is larger. no lumps. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Get ultrasound: Most likely cause at your age probably would be a hydrocele. Other less cause could be an orchitis(inflammation). Testicular rumors are almost unheard of at your age. Best way to diagnose what is going in is to get a testicular ultrasound.
