Title: Sudden testicle discomfort
Post by: skin on April 25, 2015, 11:31:02 PM
While I've always felt a bit dysphoric about those boys, they've never bothered me too much. But over the past two weeks I've been constantly aware of them. It's impossible to sit down comfortably. Never any pain, just discomfort.  I chalked it up to dysphoria at first, but it was such a change at such a random time that now I'm not so sure.

I know this forum isn't full of doctors, but do you think it is plausible that dysphoria could cause so much discomfort or should I think about making an appointment?

Not a doctor...but do they hurt in other situations, standing, walking? Sore to the touch?

Anything visible that's out of the ordinary? Redness, blue or very pale/yellowish skin? Swelling?

What kind of discomfort? Like they have too much pressure inside, a bruise, or..?

I'm no doctor but it could be varicocele (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varicocele)... or it could be an infection... or anything. See a doctor if it continues more than a few days.

Ummm, mainly just sitting. Feels better to lay down. Not sore to the touch.

The only visible thing is that it seems like one is hanging abnormally low.

Hard to describe the discomfort. It's like they're not hanging right. Maybe it could be described as they feel like they're stretching, because pulling them up towards my body makes them feel better.

I'd say see a doctor. Sounds like something isn't connected right.

Do your balls hang low
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie 'em in a knot?
Can you tie 'em in a bow?
Can you toss 'em over your shoulder
Like a Continental soldier?
Do your balls...hang...low..?


Sorry, that childhood song just popped into my head, I don't know why.

;D

I used to get discomfort as they shrank back upward, not sure evenly or not and got the discomfort mainly when sitting, all discomfort has gone away now due to Atrophy

Peanuts can fit anywhere! (any takers  :laugh:)

Thanks for the opinions. I just wanted make sure it didn't sound like just a mental thing before wasting time at the doc.

It might also be a tucking and/or panty related issue. There have been times when I would notice sitting down things began to hurt/ache down there. The usual culprit was one of the guys falling out of place. I don't do any of those "Getting Medieval" tucking techniques  :o just a pushing towards the back. If you sleep with panties on, try stopping that and see

I think a call to the doc is in order.

I don't tuck and I buy panties with my boys' comfort in mind as opposed to hiding them.

doctor, but that said when I started spiro and on and off for like 7 months they would hurt. there was pain in one testicle then one day it stopped. I do have quite a discomfort everyday by the mere fact that there hanging there and I really don't want them there.
