Okay...: I would agree to your GP's opinion as long as having free of other topical symptoms and being functional whenever you want and need. Physiologically, the peripheral parts of body like fingers, glans penis, or the scrotum tend to be colder than the central parts. More? Seek evaluation and counseling. Best wish to health...

Ive seen my GP who referred me to a urologist which could be a while. I dont get why my testicle going up has caused me a month of so much pain. Could it be a slight twist? Incorrect position? Groin problem? Nerve? They said varicosev shouldnt hurt?
