Please bear with me... This becomes
relevant after a few minutes...
My problem began about two months ago, and
since then i've experienced several
different symptoms on an inconsistent
basis, the latest of which has me more
concerned than the others. First, a quick
summary:
at first, I was experiencing
indigestion-like burning sensations in my
abdominal area (around the belly button).
There seemed to be no consistency as to
when or for how long this happened. After
awhile, I began having similar sensations
anywhere from the belly all the way over
to my right side, or possibly in the
groin. Again, no consistency as to when
i'd experience these problems.
Now, i'm experiencing minor discomfort in
the testicle area. There doesn't appear
to be any change in the size or shape of
the testicles, just a quick flash of
discomfort a few times a day. It
primarily happens when i'm standing up.
I'm not sure if this is related to the
problems I described above, but I have a
feeling it is.
Could all these symptoms be connected, and
is there anything I should consider doing
now?

Chances are its nothing too serious, but
the first thing I would do is see your
physician. He can check your testicles
and abdominal area for such things...
Thats your best bet.
The sensation in the stomach could be a
lot of things, from mild acid reflux, to
occasional indigestion; however, if the
pain is moderate to severe (including a
very bad burning followed with
constipation), it could be something much
more serious.
To give you an understanding, I will give
you my history.
For the last 3-6 months I was having these
terrible stomach aches, a really bad
burning sensation in the pit of my
stomach, these would happen maybe once a
month, but it was just the beginning of
more problems to come.
They were followed by a uti, which was
very, very uncomfortable, and then, the
other night, I had a sereve pain in my
testicle, like I had pulled it, or hit it.
Probably worse than being hit there.
Anyway, I went to the docs today, and he
diagnosed me with a hernia. However,
making me cough and feeling my stomach did
not reavel it. There are other areas
they can feel to find out if it's a lower
groin hernia, which is where the testicle
pain fills into your equation.
Your best bet would be to see your primary
care physican or a urologiest. Explain
to them the problems, and have them check
for it, very throughly. If it is like
mine, it can be caught early enough and no
damage, just discomfort can come out of
it.
