Pain below my testicles

We understand how concerning it can be to experience discomfort in such a sensitive area. Please know that you are not alone, and seeking help for any health-related concern is a commendable step.

The dull ache you are experiencing below your testicles can be due to various reasons. One common cause might be related to the testicles themselves or the surrounding structures. The discomfort worsening when you sit on a mounted surface could be an indication of a possible issue in the scrotal area or the inguinal region.

There are several potential causes for such pain, including:

• Epididymitis: Inflammation of the epididymis, a coiled tube located at the back of the testicle.
• Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum, similar to varicose veins in the legs.
• Testicular Torsion: A rare but serious condition where the spermatic cord twists, cutting off blood supply to the testicle.
• Inguinal Hernia: A condition in which part of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal wall into the inguinal canal (near the testicles).
• Muscle Strain: Strain in the pelvic or groin area, causing referred pain to the testicles.

It’s important not to self-diagnose and instead seek professional medical advice for an accurate evaluation.
