What Causes Pain In The Testicles?

I have slight testicular pain. About 2 years ago I had the same pain. I had a sonogram and physical exam. I had one tiny cyst on right testicle and small vericose veins. Eventually pain went away. There has never been swelling or redness. I contacted my doctor and he put me on cipro an antibiotic for possible epeditimitus. It didnt help. I recently started riding an exercise bike. Im not sure what this could be. It doesnt hurt extremely bad and its hard to pinpoint the exact location of the pain. it just feels very sensative and it stresses me out. Ive been dealing with a back injury. Could this be connected. I started riding the exercise bike and doing some puul ups to try and help my back and the testicular pain came back. Any ideas of what my problem could be? possile slight hernia or something? thanks

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This type of pain and location is suggestive of epididimitis which is inflammation of part of testicle and this not uncommon in males especially in young age. This is usually treated with 10 days of antibiotics, usually Ciprofloxacin and there are no permanent consequences. Masturbation and intercourse should be avoided till pain persist, if possible since I may prolong inflammation course. Some more serious conditions such as tumors or torsion are rare but in doubtful cases you should do Doppler ultrasound. In this particular case, I don’t think this is required and this should improve on antibiotic therapy.

Hope I have answered your query.
