What Causes Tightness In The Testicle While Urinating?

What should I do? About 3 months ago, I was urinating and experienced a tightness in my testicle area. I checked with my family Dr., and was notified I had chlamydia. Anyhow, I got treated for me, and was eventually cleared. Right after the tightness scenario I underwent, my right testicle constantly had felt in the way, never descended lower than the left testicle as it used to always do, and always feel a dull ache/tightness. Especially when I am sitting down, I feel tightness in the right testicle. It worries me that it is always up while the left hangs. I know that people say it s normal for one to be up higher than the other, but 3 months ago, I never felt this way. And it wasn t always this up. I did go in for an ultrasound, which resulted in nothing being found, besides a benign cyst sitting on the top of the right testicle. I still don t think this is what s causing all of my problems because I m sure that benign cyst had been there before the 3 months and I never felt this way. Even till this day, when I sit, or even stand, I feel tightness, a dull ache, and I am very annoyed and concerned about it all. This issue is also very much affecting my ability to comfortably engage in sexual intercourse, because my testicle is in the way and being pushed against. What is the next step I can take? I am not sure what it is myself, so I cannot really explain it to the Dr. s myself. The only medication I was prescribed was Naproxen 500mg to be used as needed. This hasn t helped me in the least. Please advise me as to what to do. I wonder if there is any scans or anything that can be done that can pick up something that an ultrasound can t, to perhaps find a physiological issue? Please help. Thanks. I m 23 years old, 228 lbs, no current medications, male, 5 8 feet tall.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Respected Sir, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
Possibility of Varicocele strikes at first glance after assessing your case.
Doppler of the Scrotum revels that perfectly instead of normal Ultrasonography scan.
Second Differential Diagnosis comes for referred pain of Ureteric stone for which Ultrasound abdomen pelvis or CT abdomen pelvis helps.
Hope this clears your query and helps you to some extent.
Thanks for using Health Care Magic and reviewing my answer.
Regards
Wishing you fast and speedy recovery from the same.
Bye take care Dear.
