What Could Cause A Buzzing Sensation Near The Testicles?

I am a 54 year old male. I am experiencing a buzzing in my groin that feels like it is happening near my testicles. I cannot feel it with my hand though its strong enough it feels like I should be able to fell it. It is a very light buzzing sensation that happens when I'm sitting or laying down. My physical condition is pretty relaxed having worked in a deskjob for the last few decades. The periods of buzzing would be described as prolonged. I am on one BP med (coversilplus) and currently stressed looking for work in a new career. The sensation is very annoying anytime I am stationary. Please advise!

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.

Well this buzzing is nontypical sign and it may indicate certain issues such as epididymitis, small inguinal hernia or genital neuropathy. Epididimitis 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 consequances but it should be confirmed with Doppler ultrasound first. . MAsturbation and intercourse should be avoided till pain persist, if possible since it may prolong inflammation course. You should take B12 vitamin supplements and see if this will stop, since in this case it would be neuropathy. Hernias can be detected with ultrasound so I recommend it if symptoms persist.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
