Testicular pain returned after lifting something heavy scared it might be serious again - #24724
Hi, im a healthy 19YO Back in April 2024, I started having dull, aching pain in my left testicle around 5 to 6 out of 10 in intensity. I saw a urologist, got multiple tests done including ultrasound and urine analysis, but everything came back normal. Nothing serious was found. But the pain was chronic. Then in December 2024, after sitting for 3–4 hours during the day without much movement, I woke up that night with sudden, excruciating pain. It was terrifying, I genuinely thought it might be testicular torsion. I rushed to the ER, but again, all tests and scans were normal. After that, I started doing some light pelvic floor exercises (though not consistently), and eventually, by January 2025, the pain gradually faded. From January till June 2025, I was basically pain-free. But now just a week ago I lifted something heavy very quickly and awkwardly, and since then the pain has come back. It’s not constant or sharp, and there’s no swelling or redness, but it’s there mostly on the left, though sometimes I feel it on the right too, or even both sides. The pain moves around but stays around a 3/4 out of 10. More annoying than debilitating, but enough to worry me. I’ve started doing pelvic floor work again, but this time it doesn’t seem to be helping much. I’m getting scared, especially because my final exams are in two months. please help me understand what’s going on. Thanks :)
