Testicles Go Tight Before A Bowel Movement. Why? Can Diet Solve The Issue?
For about 6 months, my testicles go really tight before I have a bowel movement . The clamping of the testes then causes discomfort throughout the day. Once I have made a bowel movement however, the testes return to the normal hanging. I also feel like sitting is putting pressure on my bowels / urethera / prostate or something in that region and I just can t solve the issue with my diet i.e. good food, bran, water etc.

Hi, gazconnection,
Thanks for query.
From your symptoms it seems that you might be having Inguinal hernia.
In this case while bowel movements or standing position a part of intestine or omentum enters in scrotum giving full scrotum due to lack lower abdominal muscle.
Consult surgeon and get physically examined.
Ok and bye.
