Testicle Tenderness and pain with nausea Posted: 02-22-08 17:48pm
Hello everyone! About 10 days ago I felt a
sudden tenderness/pain under my left nut.
First of all, I'm a 36 year-old man that
has a previous diagnosis of "genital
Herpes" back in 1993. I've been on
preventative meds in the past like valtrex
but over the past 3-4 years I've been
taking no meds at all for the herpes.
I'm married & my wife too has contacted
genital herpes because at the time of our
initial relationship I didn't know of
having this sexually transmitted disease
due to no real visible symptoms. I was
finally diagnosed a while after we were
married which wasn't a pleasant time
indeed. She too has used Valtrex at times
in the past as well.
The pain/tenderness I have/had was mild to
moderate but over the past couple days has
lessened a bit. I have felt somewhat
nauseated at times with some pain going up
into my stomach. I don't feel any
lumps/swelling down low but I can put
pressure & get a mild tenderness/pain
still after about 10 days. I've had less
energy lately & it's mildly uncomfortable
when sitting down but not too bad right
now.
Now, I've studied a lot about genital
herpes & there's no known possible serious
problems after diagnosis. However, this
current tenderness/pain has never been
there before at any time of an outbreak of
genital herpes. I do have usually some
tenderness around my upper groin with an
outbreak but nothing like that has
happened. I know my father has a history
of hernias but I've never had any type
hernia. This is the first problem of this
moderate pain that I've had period of the
testicles other than the herpes outbreaks.
What might be causing this type
tenderness/pain coming from the testicles?
My wife & I do have sex regularly & she
sometimes gets yeasts infections. She also
gets some tenderness in her vagina as
well. Could I have contacted an infection
from her of some kind? Thanks & help is
appreciated.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I am
mildly burning when & shortly after
urinating as well.

My symptoms have lessened over the past
couple days! I'm beginning to think this
is directly related to my herpes
infection. Although, the pain down low
along with on & off nausea hasn't been
this bad since the initial infection back
in 1993.
I know the tenderness part always come
with an outbreak. My outbreaks are usually
pretty mild with the herpes & over the
past 4-5 years only maybe 2-3/year with
usually no sores or maybe one small one. I
usually only get the tenderness in the
groin & maybe some fatigue with
itching somewhat but pretty mild lately. I
know the pain down low I can't remember
having before plus the feeling shooting a
little into my stomach is what has
concerned me.
I also know that a few days before these
other symptoms started I did have a small
outbreak with itching & one little
sore located in my pubic hair area. These
other symptoms began in about the 4th-5th
day after noticing my minor outbreak so
this could be related to the outbreak but
worse this time around. My wife & I
had quit taking meds for herpes in the
past 4 years or so because they were
lessening & also minor. What are your
guys opinions on this? Thanks!
