Pain in tesiticles and left lower abdomen.
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi, New to the site. Sat at the computer trying to calm anxiety. Would love to hear from anyone with similar issues. I am a 32 year old male and relatively healthy.
Symptoms are testicle pain in one or both testicles, mainly left.
Excruciating lower back pain around the coccyx.
lower left abdominal pain.
Bouts of flu like symptoms.
Symptoms are worse when sitting down and relived when standing and walking.
Pain in left lower abdomen originated about 6 months ago, started as a burning sensation slowly changing to sharp pain.
Other symptoms started about 3 months ago.
I have been to the docs and had two ct scans to eliminate any urinary tract problems and kidney stone. Doc now want to perform a colonoscopy for diverticular disease and rule out bowel cancer although I now other symtoms of these.
Ciprofloxacin seemed to relieve symptoms although no infection was present in blood.
As I am currently sat here, pain has disserpated in left abdomen and lower back, pain in testicles have moved from the actual testicle to the perineum. and i have a pain/pressure feeling in the perineum when bending over.
I have looked at nonbacterial prostatitis and it seems about the closest to the symptoms I have apart from pain when urinating. I had blood present in urine twice in the past 5 urine samples. I do not have any erectile disfunction etc. I have always urinated frequently and for as long as I can remember I have never been able to hold bladder, not incontinent but when I need to pee I need to pee almost painful to hold.
Anyone had a similar experience? Anxiety is taking over thinking I may cancer tho doc has told me ct is clear, bloods are clear no weight loss, no bleeding/ irregular bowel movements etc.
I am having anxiety attacks daily at mo as it has been 6 months without a diagnosis.
Thanks.

Should get a testicular ultrasound with color doppler to check for a varicocele, hydrocele, testicular cysts and epididimytis. Should also ask for a scrotal nerve block (SCAB) to see if that provides temporary relief. Should also try Cephalexin as an antibiotic as Cipro can be very dangerous if you used often.
Try also to find a urologist who specializes in testicular pain. Goo luck.

Thank you for the comment. A urologist and a couple of docs have examined the testicle and said they thought everything was ok. I will be seeing a urologist on Wednesday this week and will mention the above. Thanks for your input.

You are welcomed - it is a terrible pain. As you said prostatitis is also a possibility but it is difficult to diagnose. You could ask you doctor to test a sample of what is called your "expressed prostatic fluid" or EPF. He gets that sample by giving you a vigorous DRE or prostate massage and you just stand there (screaming!) and collect a few drops of fluid that come out. This fluid can identify any specific bacteria and if present they can design an antibiotic that is injected into the prostate to kill the bacteria. It is best to get rid of it now before it becomes chronic if that is what you have. Good luck.

Sounds like what I have going on, but mine is agitated with long term standing, lifting, and strenuous activity.
It started like what you have, but over time has developed into constant hip snapping and very tight adductors.
A massage therapist found that my iliopsoas muscles and adductors were rock tight. Releasing them was the craziest pain i've ever felt, but it helped tremendously. The iliopsoas connects from each disk in your lumbar and attaches to your femur, as what we know as our hip flexors. Therefore tight psoas muscles can cause quite a bit of issues, including back pain!
I have issues with them being tight still, but I get a lot of relief when I practice yoga, stretching, and massage release of these muscles.
I wish you the best of luck.
