Testical Pain
Posted: 01-09-08 22:46pm

Hi I'm a 18 years old male and lately I've
been feeling dull/aching pain in my left
testical. It's almost like the same
feeling you get when you get hit there. I
felt a lump on it a while back but it's
gone now, at least I can't feel it
anymore. I'm very scared it might be TC.
Is the percentage rate for TC at the age
of 18 years old high? And do you have to
remove a testical if you do have TC? Any
help would be appreciated, thanks.

Testicular cancer mainly affects young men
between the ages of 20 and 39. However,
the outlook for testicular cancer is one
of the best for all cancers. Most men are
cured.
Please go get checked! You can see a
urologist for a specialized exam and you
can prepare for it, by administering a
self-exam.
* Lie in a warm bath or take a long
shower. This will softens the skin of the
scrotum (skin sac that holds the
testicles), which makes it easier to feel
the testicles inside.
* Examine the scrotum. Looklumps on
the skin or swellings inside.
* Hold the whole scrotum and testicles
in the palm of your hand and feel the
difference between the testicles. One is
almost always larger and lying lower. This
is completely normal.
* Examine each testicle one after the
other. Compare the two. Use both hands
and gently roll each testicle between
thumb and forefinger.
* Check for lumps or swelling as both
testicles should be smooth except the
epididymis is. It along the top and back
of the testicle and normally feels bumpy.

Thanks!! I also forgot to mention, my my
left testicle that has been hurting became
very sensitive lately too. I hope that's
not another sign of TC.

Pain indicates something. Have you
arranged for a preliminary appointment
with your GP or a urologist yet?

At least you've taken some action. Now
you can know that you will be going
through the proper diagnostic
requirements. Please check in with us
after you've seen the doctor. Let us know
what happened and what consultation was
given. It could help someone else!

Okay, I went to get my ultrasound today.
They said everything was perfect, I was
normal but they couldn't explain why I get
the dull aching pain. And they said if I
feel the lump (that I felt before, it's
gone now) again or if anything new, I
should go back to them. I'm going to go to
my urologist on the 1st just to get a
follow-up, I'll let you guys know if
anything comes up.

Ok, I seen my urologist today and he told
me that the reason why I'm feeling pain is
because my it's inflamed? I have phimosis
and he said that is the reason why my
testicles are inflamed, the urine and
waste don't come out right.

He gave me some medications for the pain
and the inflammation and I'm going to go
get a circumcision soon to see if it will
solve the problem. Anybody have had a
circumcision when they were 18 or older?
Can anybody share their stories?

Might be best to post that question in the
Penis Forum ...? You might get more
responses.
