I m having a pain in my left testicle. It started off as a dull ache last wednesday and is still here. But has kind of turned into a occasional piching pain. Not severe. Just very annoying. Anyways, several months ago I had a case of shingles (I m only 21) I had it for a week or so, the meds the doctor gave me cleared it up nicely. Just a couple weeks ago I had a canker sore on the inside of my cheek. Very annoying. I read online they clear up on their own and it shouls go away in a week or so, and it did. Then just days after is when my testicle began to ache. My question is could their be an underlying cause to all of these problems? Or am I just being paranoid? I m going to see a urologist soon if the problem persists. Should I also ask for an std test? Does a urologist do that?
Hi. I had gone through your query. I understand your concern. Pain in testis has many causes.1. Orchids. 2. Vericocele3. Trauma or infection. Proper examination is needed to reach on conclusion. Scrotum ultrasound or color Doppler will give more confirmation. Pain can be relieved by analgesic like paracetamol/diclofenac etc. Consult surgeon for better assistance. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. Happy to help you. Thank you. Take care.
