Pain In The Testicles, Groin Area And Rib Cage. Ultrasound Negative For Hernia. What Else?

I had pain start in my right testicle for a few months. Always thought I was sitting wrong as right testicle would always be pushed up do it was uncomfortable. then the pain travelled from right groin up to rib cage. Just below waist line is tender all around groin and right testicle. Had an ultrasound of the area just below waist for possible hernia. Results were negative. I haven't moved in any way that would cause injury

Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. Pain in the testicles and groin area are related. If the ultrasound was negative for hernia you should be tested for or screened for sexually transmitted diseases. Pain in the rib cage seems like an entirely different issue. I think you should see a surgeon to have the region checked out and find out if you have a varicocoele or the testicular veins. I also think that a urinalysis should be necessary.

I hope this helped. Take care of yourself and have a lovely day!
