What Causes Pain In Testicles While Running?
Hi. I just went for a run and after half a mile, my right testicle started hurting. I had to limp the half a mile home in pain. I figured it'd go away, but it's been about four hours now. I'm fine if I'm lying down or sitting, but once I start moving it becomes so painful I can't walk straight. I started running about a month ago and this would happen, but it was never this bad and it would go away after about an hour. Should I go to the emergency room?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Yes you should go to Emergency room immediately.
The reasons for pain in the right testicle on running may be :
- Varicocele getting too large
- Testicular torsion
- Nerve pinching as the muscles of the abdomen get taught and the nerve supplying the right testicle can get pinched, hence the relaxation on lying down.
Need an urgent Ultrasonography and color doppler to rule out testicular torsion and if present immediate surgery.

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.
Based on thefacts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Congested Testes with Right Varicocele,causing pain in your case.
May be the Venus reflux is more than the earlier extent and has increased beyond limits to be tolerated by your system.
Or it could be -Torsion Testes Right side?
USG of the testes with Color doppler study with second opinion from Surgeon/ UroSurgeon would fix the cause of the above and other possibilities discussed.
Running over last 1 mths or so has recurrent bouts of such Venus reflux causing pain which was recoverable with rest and lying down.
But the chronicity has developed this Venus reflux beyond the tolerable limits and has now totally failed to give you more persistent pain in testes.
In this scenario- I would suggest you to go to ER urgently and assess it from the ER doctors.This is because,if not done this may risk your vitality and progenecity and reproducing abilities.
Hence act fast and take immediate care.
Hope this would help you to solve your health issues in the best way possible.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
