Hi,I am Dr. Kiran Kumar (Internal Medicine). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Testicles hurt during and after lifting weights. Why?
I'm 19. I lift weight 4-5 times a week and usually workout pretty hard. Sometimes, like today, my testicles have random bursts of short pulsating pain during my workout and afterwards. if i rest for a day or two it usually goes away. But when i workout really hard for a few days it always comes back. Am I about to have a hernia? Is something wrong with my testosterone? Any help would be great.
Hello.welcome.Lifting very heavy weights on regular basis without proper scrotal guards and necessary precautions can result in pain in testis which may be due to hernia or something else.Get an ultrasound testis done and consult a general surgeon.good luck.
