A member asked:

Why do my testicles hurt before a bowel movement?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pressure: If the discomfort is in both testicles, it could be some congestion or pressure which builds up from some bowel distension especially if the testicular discomfort is relieved by a normal bowel movement. If this symptom persists or worsens, consult an urologist for evaluation.
