What Causes Testicular Pain?

default
Posted on Tue, 6 Oct 2015
Question: Hi . I had pain in my left testicle for 2 years. Sonography Doppler and color Doppler test of the testicle showed nothing I mean the doctor checked the report and said the impression is all clear. I consulted a urologists he just said drink lots of water it may be a minute infection and will go away . It did not go away. He did a physical examination and ruled out any lump. Then again I visited another doctor after a year he asked me a lots of question about unprotected sex or any other discharge from penis the answer from my side is all negative never had any unprotected sex or anything. He gave me some antibiotics Name cifran -ct for 15 days the pain has reduced a lot I mean almost gone but at times there is burning sensation in the left testicle. Well last Sunday i thought i am cured so i masturbated twice and now i have burning sensation and slight pain in my left testes. just afraid that the pain might come back as before Should I take those antibiotics again kindly advice. I don't want the pain back. Should i again take cifran ct again

Brief Answer:
You should take anti inflammatory drug for 2 to 3 days and wait

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I appreciate your concern
You might have injured testis during masterbation and an inflammation might have set in.
Here, I would like to know following details like
Are you seeing any swelling?
Any change in colour
Nature of the pain, is it a constant or intermittent pain?

In my opinion you should take anti inflammatory drug like ibuprofen or acetaminophen for 2 to 3 days
Wear scrotal support

You should wait for 2 to 3 days, it may subside on its own, if it doesn't improve than you may require a course of antibiotics ( may be cifran Ct) under medical supervision.

I hope this answers your question

Thankyou for your reply . No there is no swelling. There is more of a burning sensation and then very slight pain. I had taken cifran- ct before and it worked i was pain free well almost for next 8-10 days . Then this re occurance on a much much milder level though. I think i will go with cifran ct for next 15 days as before. Do you advice anything else with cifran ct which by the way i have already started taking i know i should have waited . Kindly advice

Brief Answer:
Please consider these guidelines

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome again
Since you have already started taking cifran ct, I would advise you to visit nearest doctor for physical examination and to to check whether you are required further doses or not?

In my opinion you should avoid self medication, as such it is an antibiotic which should not be taken randomly.
You should take acetaminophen and ibuprofen combination drug for pain relief and anti inflammatory action.

Hope this answers your question

Brief Answer:
Please consider these guidelines

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I had gone through your reports, ultrasound and colour ddoppler study of the testis is absolutely normal, you need not to take cifran ct.

Ultrasound of abdomen is suggestive of fatty liver which is not related to pain in testis.
You should avoid alcohol consumption and smoking
Low fat diet
You should take lots of fresh fruits and vegetables,
Exercise regularly

In my opinion you should stop Cifran Ct now, you can take ibuprofen if you experience any pain in testis.

Hope this answers your question
Wish you good health
