How can I get rid of my testicular pain?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have had mild pain in the right testicle for two months. The USG report showed slight thickening of the spermatic cord. Now, after 10 days of antibiotic courses prescribed by the physician, the condition is better. But when I lift some weight or drive a car, then the pain starts again. What is the permanent solution? I have attached my report and prescription here for your reference.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

A minimally thickened cord is of questionable importance (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). Please get your urine analysis also. Idiopathic orchialgia is very common in young people. I suggest you wear scrotal support. The testes carry a spiral muscle called the cremaster with them while coming out of the abdomen to lie in the scrotum at the birth of a male child. The testes are in a dynamic position, hanging in the scrotum. They adjust according to stimuli like temperature change, touch, and excitation. In some young people, this causes pain due to strong muscles. With aging, this decreases. If it bothers you a lot, then you may need treatment. Keep them close to the body by using scrotal support. This is neuropathic pain, so I suggest tablet Pregabalin as and when required. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take medicine with consent.

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to reach out in case of further queries.

Thank you.
