What Causes Tingling Sensation Around The Testicles And Rectum?

ingling sensation near testicles and rectum and scrotum, or soft vibration in center or left just below testicles--SCARING ME SO MUCH even though NO PAIN. It turns on, turns off for 1, 2 or 3 seconds, then back on for about 1 second. Sitting down on this chair which has some pressure there DOES make it happen a bit stronger and more often too!!

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

This type of pain and location is suggestive of epididymitis which is inflammation of part of the 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 or scintigraphy. In this particular case, I don’t think this is required and this should improve on antibiotic therapy.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
