I spend a lot of my time at work sat down
and last week I sat down quickly and
trapped my left testicle which, as you
would expect, was very painful.
The pain susbsided within a few hours and
all was forgotten..
Now I have started to notice an
uncomfortable pain behind my left testicle
and, if I tense the muscles, it hurts as
down the space just below and to the left
of by stomach, which I believe is typical
with groin strain?
I have checked for any lumps, bumps etc
and nothing is there and it is a sporadic
pain, often vanishes for hours but then
can return for hours again.
Any suggestions as getting time off work
to visit the doctors is a nightmare where
I work

The testicles are very sensitive organs
because there are a lot of sensitive
nerves located in this area of the body.
This is why any pressure on the testicles
is very painful. In your case, it seems
that the pain has persisted for longer
than a week, which could indicate some
more severe damage like a small contusion
or internal bleeding. You need a physical
examination and ultrasound scan for a
correct diagnosis, so you can consult a
urologist ASAP.
