Pain Above The Testicle. Flaring Up On Drinking Alcohol Consumption. Could This Be From Depression?
I have had on and off pain above my right testicle in the epididymitis for around 6 months now. I first had it during the summer. It went away. Came and went a couple of times. Now I ve had it for 8 weeks. I ve been on Cipro. Worked a little, but not much. It flared up all times when I was drinking excessively. It also started up the first time after I had masrerbated exessively. It seems like there is no end to this. I am seeing an urologist , but it hasn t seemed to help. What can be done to have this go away? Could it be from depression?
Hi and thanks for your query,
being treated for epididimytis, if well treated would not actually explain the origin of the pain. Excessive masturbation could however aggravate the pain , or in some cases stimulate a partial testicular torsion in some cases.
Suggest you meet the urologost again for a proper infectious and vascular work up. Doing a doppler ultrasound of testicular vessels .
thanks and best regards
