I've been examining my testicle lately,
and I am now sure that the one is turned
the other way. it is simply facing the
other way. its the one that hurts
sometimes also. I dunno how long I've had
it turned, and if I knew which way it was
twisted to get there, I could work on
slowly twisting it back, but I'm afraid of
making a 360 turn and doing some real
damage. I saw a doctor but he didnt look
at it, he sent me to get an echography,
the guy there didnt have any time and just
checked for lumps or something I think,
then said that I'm perfect.
I am 21, and did tons of sport, dance, and
martial arts.
8 years ago I had some first pain in my
teste, but I was travelling.
last year I had my first girlfriend and it
was always alot worse, especially when I
was excited but didnt ejaculate. it got so
bad, I could barely walk , sit,
concentrate, or do anything. I used my
extreme willpower to block out the pain.
but now it feels kinda ok, but its still a
little sensitive... I am thinking of going
to see a specialist... I dont dance or do
sport anymore cause of a knee injury.
um... has anybody had the same
experience...
or, does anyone have any idea of this....
thanks everybody,
mike
BTW, how do you call a specialist in this
field? and does anybody know the name in
french as I am currently living in
france?
PS thanks

A testicle turned the wrong way is not a
good thing, because it can, in many cases,
disrupt the bloodflow to the testicle and
damage it. Did you tell the doctor about
the pain you have felt in the past?

Because I don't speak perfect french, so I
just told him that I had pain, then I
expected him to make a diagnosis or
something, but he just told me "ok , you
will go make a echographie..." end of
story. On top of it, in the end he gave me
prescription for antibiotics, and
anti-inlamatory,( for an infection I
think) without even checking to see if I
have symptoms of fever, lymph nodes, or
other stuff.
Just one question though, is there a name
for a testicle turned around, I've been
searching for weeks on the internet, and
all I find are people with stories similar
to mine.... Is this similar to testicular
torsion? I never read up on that. I ruled
it out cause they always say that torsion
if not treated, will die very quick. I've
had for long time so...
PS,Thanks for you post Marvel,
Mike
PPS, Any body had an operation to fix
testicle torsion already? anybody know
what they do? thanks

It does sound like testicular torsion,
though I've heard that's supposed to be
incredibly painful and quite likely to
cause severe damage in a very short period
of time and needs operated on immediately.
All I can suggest is finding a doctor who
speaks more english :/
