What Is The Pain In Testes While Sitting Or Laying?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I've experienced pain in my testes the past few days, it alternates between the left and right. It mainly comes when I'm sitting or laying down. If I'm walking around or standing I don't feel it. I can still play sports and not have any pain. Also, if I'm distracted from thinking of it I don't feel it. I'm concerned this is cancer. I've checked for lumps but have found none. I am 18 years old, fit, and in good health

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Noted that you are 18 years old, fit and and in good health.
You have pain in the testes on alternate basis on sitting and lying down but not on standing or during sports.
This does not come in cancer, never on both the sides as you have thought. Cancers are always painless inthe initial period.
I would advise ou the following:
Get an ultrasonography and color doppler test done to see the probable diagnosis which can be:
- Varicocele
- epididymoorchitis
Clinical evaluation by a general Surgeon or Urologist would help to correlate the findings and to plan for a treatment if necessary.
Till then apply scrotal support.
Drink plenty of oral fluids.
I find this answer helpful
