What Causes Testicular Pain While Doing Heavy Work?

My husband has one testicle that seems to have shrunk and he gets pain in that testicle when doing heavy work, weather changes & sometimes at random. This has been for 2-3years now. Any idea what might be going on? We have had 2more kids since this happened so it doesn't seem to have effected procreation abilities.

Hi,

The symptoms that you have described may be seen with the following:
- Torsion of the testes
- Inguinal hernia
- Hydrocele

In these, the size of the testes is not usually reduced but one side of the scrotum can appear bigger than the other side.

Some symptoms that one may expect are pain when coughing, straining, or lifting heavy objects. There may also be an increase in the size of the scrotal swelling with coughing or lifting heavy objects.

The next best step is to visit a doctor for an examination to confirm the cause. Some doctors may also suggest ultrasound to confirm the extent of the swelling.
Post this, the usual management is through surgery.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vignan Rachabattuni, General & Family Physician
