Question: Dear Dr,

I recently had stomach flu n was running fever, I went to the hospital , put on drip n fever subsided the next day . My appetite hadn return n I'm worrying with the next episode following this.

I was trying to pass motion n was straining to do so. After nothing much came out. I realize my left testicle got some pain. The pain gradually got worse with the slightest touch. I can feel the pain to my lower left abs. I took a bath n rest for awhile. The pain gradually reduce. I slept n woke up the next day the pain n sensitivity is almost gone. But somehow I felt sensitive in the tube behind the testicle connected up to my Lower left abs.

I had a testicle cyst n was evaluated by dr ultrasound a year ago. The said it was benign n pretty common . If it gets bigger then he will put me on medi. I had the cyst for 10 years fr I realized it till now. It hadn given me problem or grown in size . I check on my testicle there was no swell , everything else seemed normal except for the cyst which had been there all while.

May I know if stomach flu can caused some infection or bacterial traveling down ?

Did I slp the wrong manner?

Can I hurt the area when I strain my bowels?

Can the cyst caused this base on my above description ?

Pls advise

Dear Dr,

I appreciate your prompt reply. I will rest awhile n hopefully the sensitivity subside.

I started to worry on my testicle because of this issue and is afraid that it might be the cause of it. I was assured on my ultrasound a year ago. He was pretty thorough on that n ultrasound my prostrate too. It hadn given problem. I'm afraid that it had flare up somehow after yesterday incident.

R they dangerous? Will they cause infertility? Must is be removed? Is it common in men? Do I need to get regular check up?

I'm referring to the cyst that is at the end bottom tip on my left testicle. I remember is about 2.5mm.(if I rember correctly) It is pretty mobile. How big are they consider dangerous? Will day become dangerous? Wat side effects will they caused?

Dear Dr,

With regards to my gastroenteritis I suffered 4days ago, my fever is down , I'm eating some Porridege and nothing else . I have a random mild pain on and off in my abdomen . Initially was the upper abdomen, now is on the lower left. The mild pain is random , or laying on certain positions . My urine can be very dark brown yellow but once I start drinking water it clear up but to come back again later part of the day.

Has the flu messed up my digestive tract..I get reflux as well.. I'm feeling sick up n down. ....

ue to the left testicle pain I had earlier, I'm more conscious on my testicle. I was showering n checked on them. I realized I found a lump thing on top of my left testicle , in addition to the one below i had for 10 years, this some is softer larger n very mobile n difficult to "catch" is sort of attached to the veins thing in top back of the testicle. Sometimes I feel them sometimes I XXXXXXX It run around. There is no pain no swell.

Is this one of the system" down there or is this kinda cyst thing. I'm worried n tired. Pls advice

Dear Dr,

I will definitely go visit the dr to get it evaluated. Meanwhile when I searched thru the website. I saw that there are 2 diagnosis that seemed to be quite similar to my symptoms. Spermatocele n variocele ( correct spelling) . Wat is the difference between the 2? Will they grow n cause infertility?

My testicle I checked is not swollen n smooth. My fingers need to reach deep behind top on my left testicle to "catch" it. It move freely n size of a small marble.. I know that is important to get evaluated n I certainly will. Before that, I would like to hear your advice and closet evaluation based on wat I told u.

I'm really worried in this state of anxiety. Pls advice

And Dr, judging my description, the small marble that is attached by a gum thing at the top part of my left testicle wat is it likely to be? It is smooth on surface and float around ?

Thks for all your patience

Dear Dr, I appreciate your prompt reply and your patience again. I need to fly out of town to this evaluated. Meanwhile I'm already at the airport . I hope to update u again when results available.

Thk u so much

If only doctors could explain clearly like u. I'm taking a late flight n soon boarding . I will come back with updates on the evaluation n review with your conversation.

U are appreciated. Thks again Dr XXXXXXX

Dear dr,

I had an ultrasound n there was a cyst indeed above my left testicle. Spermatocele. It's about 8mm in size. The dr say is benign n pretty far away from my testicle. However, the problem I had now is that this cyst is pressing on my nerves? I felt mild pain at the groin area sometimes radiating to by left inner thigh.

Now my question now is. Is my cyst considered big? How long had it took to grown to 8mm? Without me knowing . Can it be overnight?

I'm give ciproflocaxin n difenac (correct spellings) for this issue? Will this bring down the cyst?

Will the pain at my groin area goes away with the cyst still there? R the cyst pressing on the nerves ?

Will they slowly grow n if so, wat should I do? Or wat can be done?

Fertility issues?

Pls help

Dear dr

Thank for your reply. Y hasn't the dr who did an ultrasound not seen in a case of variocele or funiculities? If in case there was, wil ciproflocaxin difenac medications help then?

The cyst when I try n touched it n feel it is not anywhere painful. I'm so worried it will grow.

By the way the mild pain I described on my inner thighs, hip and groin area comes n goes. Usually better after walking. But one I sit down the pain can be felt.

Dear Dr XXXXXXX

Thks for your prompt reply because that was wat I needed. I really needed to be certain on what is happening in my body. Especially when it occurs at such an important place in Men.

Basically can I summarize my issues:
I was all well n happy with my sexual life with one only partner my wife. Them few days ago developed stomach flu , Put on drip n went home. Following dark yellow urine n straining of bowels which my left testicle hurts. The pain went away n I began to worry on my testicle.

Self examination discover a small movable cyst on my upper left testicle. Freaked me cos I aldy had one cyst below left testicle. Flew home to have an immediate ultrasound. RealIzed another cyst. Then began to relate my earlier groin Hip inner thigh with this issue.

Am laying on bed now, totally drained from the anxiety yesterday. Asking myself y I had those extra things that majority doesn have? Begin to worry that somehow, it can affect fertility rates. More or less ...had on cyst, now 2, n worried when the third one will come ? N the worst thing is that there is nothing I can do to prevent or cure this.. Begin to worried the 2 cyst will grow, n if ever then more medications or perhaps , drainage, surgery whatever will come. Like I'm geared up to face this . Awaiting what's more to come.

Sorry for the long msg, but this is really draining me away , physically n mentally agonizing.. N this kinda issue is so hard to tell frens or wife. Like... U know wat I mean.

Thks for reading... I jux wanna be normal n healthy

Dear Dr

I agree with wat u had said. I could not shake off the anxiety I had n can't seemed to recover from the discovering I had earlier .

Im now living life with a constant imagination that there is some extra stuff in me. N that could not help thinking it is some abnormalities.

Thank u for hearing me n being such a nice dr on your experienced n patience.

Dear dr XXXXXXX

I read that spermatocele cyst can be pressing on nearby nerve irritation. Will that caused pain at the lower inner thigh area? Or other surrounding area?
