Testicle soreness.

[cjb1981]

For the past couple of days, my right testicle has felt like it is being lightly squeezed to the point that it is making my stomach hurt a little. It's not constant pain, but it tends to feel a little worse if I'm sitting. There are no lumps or bulges anywhere, I haven't been hit there, and I haven't had sex sense the beginning of August. She is my long time girlfriend who is free of any std's, with the potential exception of a yeast infection. Also, my job requires a lot of manual labor, is it possible to literally "strain a nut"? Any thoughts?

Need to see a MD to r/o a hernia, torsion, or an inflammation to the testicle...and others. I highly doubt this is a STD...you need a full medical eval....

I had something similar happen to me. A slight pain and pressure with righty despite I didn't hit it or stress it.

It might be a slight dislocation, where only time can fix it, but check with a doctor just in case.

I would have to guess its a hernia...sometimes...dont know the average or statistic, but a guy gets a hernia and the muscles push through into the scrotum...that could cause the problem since you said your job requires a lot of manual labor.

The OP needs to seek a doc...epididymis is also a consideration, God forbid a torsion; hopefully it's a pulled groin muscle or at worst a hernia.....Get to the Doc ASAP; please.

It's getting much better, I hardly notice it at all now, and that's only when I'm in an odd position. I'm pretty sure I just pulled a muscle. I've pulled muscles before, but this one was REALLY close to my "equipment" so I freaked when it felt weird, I kind of panicked And Sera, if all goes as planned, I'll have medical insurance by the middle of November, so I won't be as gun shy about going to the doctor after that. Thanks people.

Since we are in Oct. already; call the doc and make an appointment for a full history & physical on the date your insurance begins. Usually insurance companies begin your coverage on the first of the month. Good luck!

I've been reading a few posts on this and have a similar problem. I have talked to Docs about it, but generally get something along the lines of "nothing serious." thought I would bump this to see if anyone has similar problems or a suggestion.

I have had this problem for a while. It only happens maybe once or twice a month, if that. I have sometimes gones months without it happening at all. But occassionally I will get this pain in my testicle. When I'm sitting still, it feels fine, but when I move (walk, run, etc) it gets worse and worse. Generally it starts gradually and just gets worse. It always goes away after a few hours, sometimes it will be after I wake up the next day.

I have tried to link it to some other behaviors, like dehydration or over exerting myself, but I can't figure out what it might be linked to. Any ideas?

Yea I dont really think bumping is going to help I mean Its already gotten all the advice it will get (most likely)

It may be nothing to worry about, but see a doctor if it persists. I've noticed something similar myself. From time to time, I've had some tenderness in the left testicle. I can't find any lumps etc., and its not due to any injury that I can recall. It occurs infrequently, is not severe and usually goes away after a few days. It doesn't affect my sexual performance, and there is no pain when I ejaculate. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps I strained something while I was sleeping without realising it.
