Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 28-year-old male. I have been suffering from pain in my left testicle for the past two days. The size is also decreased when compared to before. I visited a doctor and explained my problem to him. The doctor asked various questions regarding causes, like any recent injuries in that area. There was no injury, but I told him I masturbated. He said it is not the cause. There is nothing to worry about. If required, go for a doppler scan. So, I did. The report was normal. So, the doctor just prescribed a painkiller tablet. The thing is, I forgot to mention to my doctor that I masturbate twice a day. Does that make a difference? Now, I want to know if this is something major. Will this affect my sperm count or sex life? Will using painkillers solve the problem?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have seen your reports, and they are fine (attachment removed to protect patient identity). So, there is nothing to worry about at all. The pain may be due to excessive masturbation, which is twice daily. Take the painkiller as advised by your doctor. Avoid masturbation till the pain resolves. Later you can resume it, but once every two or three days and not twice daily. Nothing will happen to your fertility or sperm count. You are perfectly fine.

Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply. I am happy to hear that I am fine. What is the issue with the size? To my touch, it appears to have decreased in size.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Do not worry. The size is fine on the ultrasound. You may feel it is small, but it is normal.
Thank you.
