Suggest Remedy For Pain In Left Testicles

Hi, I have got very mild pain (not constant) for the last two weeks in my left testisile. There is no bulge but when I visited a doctor yesterday, he did an oral examination for 2 minutes and asked me to cough. There was no pain whil coughing, but there was some pain when he kind of squeezed the testisile. He said it is hernia but I just wanted to be sure as I have no other pain in abdomen and even this pain is at some time only, however I do feel some discomfort and have to adjust my pants or innerwear. Pls guide me. Regards, Amit

welcome.
Hernia is one of the main causes for testicular pain.
Since the doctor has diagnosed hernia, it is better to consult a general surgeon, confirm the same and proceed with the treatment.
Ignoring the pain only leads to more problems.
Hope this helps,

General Surgeon Dr. T Chandrakant's  Response
Hi Amit.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history and your Doctor's opinion of this being a hernia. I think this must be a hernia only as he has examined for the ''impulse on coughing'' and this is very classical of Hernia.
Well, this can also cause a pain as the nerve supplying the testicle and scrotum can get stretched over the broadening hernial sac to give you the sensory varied sensations.

The best way is to get operated.
