Posted on Thu, 4 Aug 2016
Question: I have been having discomfort in my testicles which spreads to my lower abdomen and then my left side. It lasted about 6 hours overnight and the pain has eased off to virtually none. This also happened a couple of months ago. It lasted a day and then it was fine. The pain level in my testicles was about a 7. This is only the 2nd time i have had this problem. I have no visible blood in my urine.

Brief Answer:
Rush to ER- could have been torsion

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Male/46 - discomfort in testicles - level of 7 - spreads to lower abdomen and to the left - lasted for 6 hours overnight - nil now - happened couple of months ago which lasted for a day - no visible blood in urine - not consulted any Doctor - not on medication

Such an occurrence can occur due to partial torsion of testes wherein the torsion is reversed for the pain to pass of as the causative agent is no more present.

The pain due to other causes like infection does not stop abruptly as you have explained.
This is the golden period to get a diagnosis by ultrasound and color doppler examination. Alas, get this done immediately and also the routine tests of blood, urine and whichever are needed to get a correct diagnosis.

I hope this answers your query.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
