What Causes Pain In Testicle While Walking?
Question: MY left testicle hurts a little ( thobs) after a short walk . I am on amoxicliin for a sinus infection 5 days now . The testicle has been doing this for 3 or 4 days . I have vertigo so I walk funny and I started trying to walk straighter the last two weeks . (14 years of vertigo). My stomach or mid section has been getting tighter because I am trying to walk the correct way ( using my core ). Would this cause my testicle to hurt because of my new walking way. Or do I have an infection ( I have back pain ) but did a self check and have no lumps or anything that I can see?
Brief Answer:
Infection is less probable when on antibiotics.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Generally testicles should not give pain after physical activity like walking no matter if you walk straight or not. Testicles usually hang freely.
Your symptoms can be caused by an infection, however as you do take an antibiotic, this is less probable.
Your symptoms can be caused by spermatic cord varices or even inguinal hernia. Any testicle tumor should be ruled out as well.
I suggest you to consult urologist and have testis ultrasound done. Without this test it will be hard to determine the reason.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

I forgot to say as I tried a groin stretch ( deep squat ) with legs shoulder with apart the left testicle started bouncing and hurt as I stretched it out then the pain went away ? Does this mean anything ?
Brief Answer:
Muscle pain should be close to testicle, but does not affect testicle.
Detailed Answer:
In such case the pain should be close to the testicle due to muscles and tendons injury. It should not be in the testicle. So ultrasound would be a good idea.
