Suggest Treatment For Sensation In The Testicles And Bladder Area
Question: Hello Dr. Rynne,
Thank you in advance for your advice or help. I am a 50 year old male, smoker and drinker. A couple weeks ago I began feeling a sensation that woul;d start in my testicles it seems, and then shoot up into perhaps my groin or bladder region. It sometimes happens when I have been walking, but mostly I feel it sitting in my work chair, couch at home, or when driving. Almost similar to the feeling if you play sports and get maybe injured there. It is not constant but sometimes occurs more frequently than others. I have not been injured recently, however, I have had a pretty consistent heavy cough and wondered if I didn't 'pull something' down there. I do not feel any strange lumps in self examination.
Thank you doctor.
