What Is The Pain And Discomfort In Testicle When I Lift Heavy Weight?

Hi, I am having pain in my left testical when lifting heavy objects or any kind of abdominal muscle movement. When I flex my abs my testical moves up as far as it can go causing discomfort. I'm 21 years old and lift heavy objects for a living. I've already had hernia repair on my right side, am I looking as another ?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of pain and discomfort in testicles on lifting heavy objects, which is a part of your job. Testicles moves up and cause pain when you contract your abs, there is already a history of hernia repair on right side.

I think this is due to overactive cremaster muscles.
These are composed of the muscle fibers derived from the abdominal muscles and an overactive muscle is pulled it pull the testes up as a natural process which in your case is enhanced response.

I would advise you the rest from job for about 3 weeks, let us give time for healing and resting to give these muscles a bit relaxation
Give scrotal support.
Avoid coughing and constipation.
