One for the men of the group (sorry for the tmi post)

Do any other men notice discomfort in their testicles on these meds or as a result of their anxiety? Ive been noticing lots of different discomfort recently and have read that anxiety can cause pain in the testicles as well as a result of being hypersensetive to feelings down there but just wondering if anyone has felt this?

I had a lot of pain over christmas down there so went to the drs and was diagnosed with eppidymatitus and given antibiotics so also wondering if its lingering effects of that too

      Thank you I never knew it could also affect hormones, that might explain the discomfort i get in my testicles and groin

    hi mate,

    i not sure whether it does or doesnt to be honest, it affects so many things in the body it wouldnt surprise me!

      Im just coming up to the end of my 4th week on the meds. Ive read that anxiety can cause pain in that area so could just be that or the linger effects of the infection i had over christmas, my health anxiety just makes me over worry about anything like this

      hi mate

      yeh i totally get it.

      you will have an abundense of start up symptoms in the esrly stages, you may very well feel worse than you did prior to starting but its all part & parcel of the journey ahead.

      It sounds daft but us blokes can strain ourselves & pull our groin without even really realising it.

      its difficult not to focus on it because when you think about it you feel it!!!!

      id keep tabs on it mate & if it doesnt improve pop back to docs for a check up even just to give you piece of mind

      take care materob
