Groin strain or testicle pain?

Question

About a year ago, I started getting testicle pain.. always a dull ache. There are no lumps or swelling or anything unusual looking. I went to see the doc about it and he had a feel and said everything felt normal and said it was a groin strain. He told me to rest.

After a while it went away on its own. Now, a year later it's back. It still feels like it's testicle pain but there is no swelling or lumps anywhere. Went to see the doc again and he said everything feels normal but it could be a bit of epididymitis. He gave me some antibiotics but they haven't had any effect.

The pain happens when I'm sitting down or lying down, but tends to go away when I'm stood up or walking around. It sometimes feels like it's down my leg too. No amount of rotating my leg or flexing my groin muscles can induce the pain to happen which makes me think it's not muscular. I don't played football and have been as inactive as possible since it started.

What could this be?!

Answer 1

When you saw the doctor, did you see a family doctor or a urologist? If you have not seen a urologist, I suggest you do so asap. A urologist would specialize in testicular problems and I think it is time to have a second opinion. There is no way anyone can figure out what is wrong without doing an examination, asking questions, knowing your complete family medical history and possibly some testing. Please see a urologist, if you haven't already. If you have, a second opinion might be in order to be sure something wasn't missed.

Get another opinion bro. testicle pain could lead to hyatal hernia, etc. Ha ve you ever had an arteryorgram? I have had one too many and my left groin has hurt for a LONG time. Sprains and strains can only get better with rest and relaxation......but working forces us to keep pushing. Good luck and get a 2nd opinion,Please.
