Dislocated Testicle...

Or whatever its called...

I woke up a couple of days ago with a dull aching sensation in my scrotum... and it appears that my testicle is the wrong way around... I went to the doctor later on that day, and the bloke had a feel around, gave me some pain killers and told me to get on with it...

4 days on, its still pretty much the same. A sort of dull, periodic aching which is often accompanied by feeling a bit sick. One of my brethren had a similar thing, and needed an operation, though by the looks of t'internet, thats more for the emergency, rolling on the floor screaming cases...

So what should I do? Presumably, a throbbing ******* is not something I want to live with, so should I get it checked again? Has anybody here had/know someone who has had a similar problem?

I wouldn't usually bring this to the internet, but not many people I know seem to have any useful advice, other than grimacing and attempts to make a grab at my crotch...

Cheers!

What?

Just WHAT?

Go to a better doctor who isn't weirded out by feeling someone elses scrotum and just dismisses you.

yeah ask for another opinion from a different doctor, they do it get it wrong sometimes, just persist.
If you're not happy with the first opinion, get a second!

The Doc. felt your scrotum?
Just go to those sex clinics the GPs dont have a clue about this kind of stuff.
Someone in my year got this. It wasn't a dull ache though as it had got really twisted suddenly and got quite serious.

I don't know if i've ever been told a proper term for it, but I think he had to have a minor operation in the end, so get it checked out (again) to make sure, and if the doc' tries to fob you off again tell them straight how much of a problem it is.

Yeay! Quick replies. Thanks peeps...


It does indeed seem like the dude copped a feel and fobbed me off...

I'll go back and ask another doctor tomorrow... it isn't 'Torsion' as such because those are meant to be excruciatingly painful. I presume my doc has it down as an infection, which is possible, but doesn't explain why one is about 1/2 an inch higher up than the other, and appears to be sloping in the wrong direction...

Should I ask to be deferred to Urology?

This thread makes me cringe..
Ow ow ow ow ow you made me imagine it and it hurts in my mind.
Yeah I used to wake up really often with this kind of pain, went to the doctors once about it and I've never been more uncomfortable with my boxers down another man having a feel.

Luckily it's only happened once ;P all jokes aside just go somewhere else with the problem if you're worried.

Goddd!!! I know. Why couldn't it be a finger, or an ankle. Why did it have to be a bloody testicle? It really is a rather nightmarish situation...

A 'friend' claimed to be an expert on the topic because 'he little brother had it', but based on her verdict of 'ooh yeah' accompanied with a cheeky smile, I presume I was 'Punk'd'...

Really? I must say it was rather uncomfortable. I didn't go for a female in case she got embarrassed, or I gave her an unwanted surprise... how did you manage to get it sorted? Did it just pop back?

Would it be possible to have a go myself? Or will I probably end up doing more damage?

Perhaps some pics will help with the online diagnosis :p:

It's called blue balls and it means you need to get your end away. Or alternatively have a ****.

WTF do you mean have a go yourself?! I don't think you'll be able to pop it back into place like a doctor does a dislocated ankle...
