Ache in lower-left abdomen/testicle. HELP!


Posted by asdfghjkl

feels like pain is coming from left testicle, but doesn't really hurt when i touch it and it's not swollen. not quite excruciating pain though. a few months ago i had torsion of the appendix testes, which was very similar to the pain now, but is on the opposite side. PLEASE help me. i don't know what's happening and it's really bugging me.

Pain within the testes generally arises from disorders of the testicle and/or the epididymis.


The most common pain causes include trauma, torsion (twisting of the spermatic cord, or appendix testis, or appendix epididymis), inflammation--particularly of the epididymis, varicocele (cluster of dilated blood vessels or spermatic veins),  hydrocele (collection of fluid within the scrotal sac), cysts and testicular tumors.

Sometimes rough or over-masturbation can cause injury to your testicle. If that's the case, then stop masturbating until it's not aching anymore.

If the pain goes up into the abdomen it may be a sign of a hernia.

Check with your doctor for a correct diagnostic of your symptoms.
