Left testicle pain
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi, i got an injury in my left testicle about 6 years ago. GP gave me anti-biotics for one week and i got better. But after this incident it started to hurt whenever i ejaculate (i have a very active sexual life), the pain goes into my left thigh as well. Upon visiting urologist he ordered below tests.
- Complete blood count - turned out to be normal
- Renal Function test - turned out to be normal
- Uric Acid - turned out to be higher than normal i.e., 7.4
- Urine analysis (complete examination) - turned out to be normal
- Scrotal ultrasound - turned out to be normal (no varicocele, no hydrocele, normal in size and shape, normal surface)
Upon checking the reports Urologist gave me anti-inflammatory drugs and a pain killer. However, the pain is still here with only little improvement, it's been 3 days i am taking those drugs. Kindly help me out on what it can be as it is becoming annoying for me.

it sounds like you have chronic epididymitis, if its chronic , there is no way to fix this but some treatment helps to treat the pain...check with your doctor, have an ultrasound or Scan.

Forgot to mention, Ultrasound also said i don't have epididmmytis, in conclusion they wrote "normal doppler study". Can there be anything alarming behind the scenes?

i think Doppler ruled out testicular varicocele, i still think epididymitis , cuz the injury could cause epididymitis

forums said if i can feel any lump or something, but i didn't feel any lump. it does hurt when i touch. from last few days it even hurts even without ejaculation and it started after i had intercourse thrice on same day (after that the pain got worse).

Hi Rob, I have the same condition as yourself. I was worried I had testicular cancer. Blood tests, urine sample and ultrasound came back all clear. Saw urologist yesterday and after examination he confirmed I have Epididmmytis. My GP prescribed Amitriptyline 25mg which I take twice daily. With me it's a dull ache that comes and goes.

With me it's a dull ache that comes and goes. Blood tests, urine test and ultrasound have all come back clear. Any other tips on how to make this condition go away? Urologist told me it will wear away over time.
