Testicular pain returned after lifting something heavy scared it might be serious again - #24724

Pranav

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 :)

Your situation seems quite challenging, especially with exams coming up. Based on what you've described, it could be possible that lifting something heavy strained your pelvic area, which might have aggravated the underlying issue related to the muscles or nerves. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this might relate to a vata imbalance, often associated with pain, movement, and nerve-related issues. Let's explore some practical steps you can take: Firstly, ensure your digestive fire or agni is balanced, as it's crucial for overall health. Incorporate warm, cooked, easy-to-digest foods into your diet. Avoid foods that are cold, raw, or difficult to digest, as they may aggravate vata. Ginger and cumin in your meals might aid digestion and reduce bloating. Hydration plays a role. Drink warm or room temperature water throughout the day to help maintain balance in the body. Ginger tea could also offer additional soothing properties. In terms of lifestyle, try incorporating a daily routine of gentle yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises), which can help relax and balance the body. Poses like Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclined Bound Angle Pose) may be beneficial. For topical relief, consider applying warm sesame oil to the lower abdomen and around the testicular area, followed by a warm compress. This can provide comfort and soothe vata imbalances. Despite these measures, it's crucial to be cautious and prioritize your health. Avoid lifting heavy objects and engaging in activities that may worsen your symptoms. If the pain persists, consult with a healthcare professional—particularly if there are changes in intensity or other concerning symptoms. Remember, while Ayurveda can offer support, urgent situations should always be addressed promptly by medical professionals. Your well-being is most important, and managing stress and staying grounded will aid not just the body, but the mind, too, especially as exams approach.

Hello Pranav I can understand your concern and thanks for reaching out and sharing a detailed history - thats really helpful. Based on follwing factors like ✅Normal Reports ✅Episodic testicular pain ✅ Pain aggrevated by prolonged sitting or lifting heavy objects ✅ pain relieving by doing pelvis exercises We may suspect chronic pelvic pain syndrome Nothing to worry it is not infectious or not due to testicular torsion 👉IT MAY BE DUE TO ✔️ pelvic floor muscle tension ✔️nerve irritation ✔️ Referred pain from back ✔️ triggered due to wrong posture or lifting heavy weights In cpss, no structural abnormality is there so your ultrasound came normal It is mostly neuromuscular What you can do ? **CONTINUE PELVIC MUSCLE RELAXATION EXERCISES-** 1 Reverse kegels 2 stretches that helps- child pose Supine hamstring and hip stretches Practice this for 10 mins daily (even when you dont have pain) **Practice 5-10 mins mindfulness or guided meditation **INTERNAL MEDICATION THAT WILL HELP ** 1 Chandraprabha vati 2-0-2 after food twice daily 2 Balaristham 30ml-0-30ml after food daily **SOS MEDICINE- if pain is more keep mahadhanwanthram gullika 2-2-2 in your mouth If you ever get- ✅Sudden, severe pain ✅Swelling , redness or high fever ✅Vomiting with pain Rush to ER just to rule out torsion or any other acute issues You r 19 , healthy and your testucles were cleared of serious causes. What you re expetrencing is common in many young men , often tied to pelvic floor imbalance , nerve tension and posture - not something dangerous One of my patient’s son also had this problem he was even hesitated to tell his problem just i advised him some exercises and then since may be 9-10 months he didnt had any pain so dont worry Hope you found this helpful 😊 Regards Dr snehal vidhate

HELLO PRANAV, You've had testicular pain that: -was dull and chronic at first - became acute once(dec 2024) -then resolved, only yo return after lifting something heavy PROBABLE CAUSES 1) PELVIC FLOOR DYSFUNCTION- HIGHLY LIKELY -the pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs - when these muscles are tight, overactive or fatigued, they can refer pain to the testicles or perineum. This often causes- a deep acting, dragging, or burning pain, -pain worsened by sitting, lifting, bowel movements -no obvious swelling or infection, making it hard to diagnose through scans You mentioned light pelvic floor exercises helped you earlier. This is a strong clue that the pain may be muscular and nerve related. 2) REFERRED PAIN FROM LUMBAR SPINE OR GROIN MUSCLES -lifting awkwardly can strain - lower back muscles, groin, nerves like ilioinguinal or genitofemoral nerve -These nerve pass through the inguinal canal and can refer pain directly to the testicle, inner thigh, or lower abdomen. -commong in athletic young men or students who sit a lot. 3) SUBCINICAL VARICOCELE OR SPERMATIC CORD TENSION -a varicocele is a dilated vein(like a varicose vein) in the scrotu. -sometimes, even if it's not a big enough to be diagnosed in a standard ultrasound, it can cause -dull, dragging sensation, worse with standing or physical exertion - relief when lying down The fact that lifting triggered recurrence hints at pressure buildup in the pelvic veins. 4) CHRONIC ORCHIALGIA/ NEUROPATHIC PAIN -defined as testicular pain> 3 months without identifiable cause -this can become a "central sensitisation" issue, where nerves remain hypersensitive even when no damage is present. -this can triggered again by stress, lifting, or inactivity. In Ayurveda, your condition points towards a vata imbalance, particularly -APANA VATA governs= elimination, sexual function, testes, bladder, pelvic organs when disturbed due to- overexertion, improper sitting posture, irregular eating/sleep, suppression of urges(like avoiding urination or defecation) Apana vata gets vitiated, leading to conditions like -vatakundalika= pain/twisting in testicles -shukrashmari= seminal gravel or blockage -gudabhramsha= pelvic muscle laxity - snayugata vata= tendon/muscle-related vata disorder INTERNALLY START WITH 1) VRIDDHIVADHIKA VATI- 1 tab twice a day after meals with warm water = especially useful in conditions where vata has lodged in the groin or inguinal canal. 2) YOGARAJ GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily with lukewarm water = deep acting on muscular tension, pelvic nerve pain or myofascial trigger points(especially good if there's associated back pain or stiffness) 3) RASNADI GUGGULU- 1 tab twice daily after meals = anti inflammatory, balances vata kapha, if testicular or pelvic pain is worsened after exertion or cold weather 4) SAHACHARADI KASHAYA- 15 ml with water before meals twice daily = nerve related groin/ testicular pain, especially radiating types 5) BRIHATVATA CHINTAMANI RASA- 125 mg with water mixed ghee once in morning = restore nerve strength, used in condition like chronic orchialgia 6) KANCHANAR GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after meals = especially benefits in hidden varicocele or lymphatic congestion in the groin EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS 1) OIL MASSAGE daily with Sahacharadi taila or prasarini taila =gently massage lower abdomen, inner thighs, and lower back LIFESTYLE AND DINACHARYA -avoid lifting heat weights, prolonged sitting, and constipation -take warm sitz baths daily with a pinch of rock salt - maintain a regular sleep schedule and avoid excessive screen time DIET -warm, cooked meals -avoid dry, cold, spicy, or processed foods -include= ghee, milk with turmeric or ashwagandha, cooked moong dal, dates, figs, soaked almonds -avoid caffeine and excessive tea YOGIC SUPPORT regular, gentle yoga focusing on -pelvic floor release and hip mobility -supta baddha konasana=reclining bound angle pose -viparita karai= legs-up-the-wall-pose - ananda balasana= happy baby pose PRANAYAM -anulom vilom - bhramari SEEK IMMEDIATED MEDICAL HELP IG -sudden severe pain - swelling, redness, or fever -testicle feels firm, irregular or pulled up - nausea or vomiting with pain DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.
