What Causes Pain In Testicles When Suffering From Hernia?

I recently visited my doctor and was told that I have a hernia. My hernia is located above my penis in my pelvic area on the left side. Since receiving this hernia I have been having slight discomfort/slight pain in my left testicle that had not been there before. Is this a common thing or do I need to worry about something else?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: If your hernia is reduces itself on lying down and your bowel movement is normal you need not worry.

Explanation: As I told you, dragging and slight pain is always associated with hernia. You need not worry if your hernia reduces itself(disappears itself) on lying down and if your bowel movement is normal.
If not please visit your doctor. Hope this will help you. Good luck. Get operated early.
