Save My Testicles!

[Mr-Brooding]

I started doing lots of cardio this summer, and as a result, my exercise clothes stopped fitting correctly. So I'd tie my exercise shorts really, really tight around my waist to keep them from falling. After I tied my shorts today, I had a sudden sharp pain in my groin. I couldn't exercise for more than a minute until it became unbearable.
I'm not sure when it happened, but one of my testicles grew in size as well and now I have ridiculous low hangers that were not like this at first. Sometimes it hurts to walk and cough, and other times it hurts just a little. I noticed a bump on one, too, so I'm really scared.
Also, I started Pilates a couple of days ago, so could this have something to do with it?
These pains began today, but it is far too late to go to a doctor now. What do I do? I'm 19 by the way. They a bit right now.

Don't mess with it. Go see a doctor...

Whenever I read something like "save my testicles" on here I think to myself "What are we supposed to do about it from here?"

The best I can come up with is that it's like when Peter Pan tells us we have to clap to save Tinkerbelle.

So this is for your testicles:







Now go see a doctor!

I love to shave my testicles. It's like one of my meditation moments I reserve for personal reflection and relaxati...oh...oh dear...I see...save my testicles!?


nevermind

NO, No. Go immediately to an emergency room. The big danger is that you have twisted the cords and arteries in there and it may cut off the circulation. If it is not taken care of you could lose a testicle. By the time you read this, it would probably be too late, if that is the problem. In any event if there is any pain at all see the Doctor.

I hope you will tell us how this came out.I wish you the best.

It's never too late to go to the doctor. I always get checked for hernias when I go in (just in case), from lifting and working out. It will end up taking time and rest and no more working out. But I still highly suggest going to the doctor. In the future you could always wear supportive underwear like compression shorts or jockstraps.

It does not sound like a hernia to me. I have had two and they were not painful. The twisting or torsion is a real emergency

 

[Mr-Brooding]

I went to the doctor today. I'm not in excruciating pain or anything, so he wasn't too worried. I sat in the office for HOURS! I had to practically play with *the twins* (who aren’t aren’t acting very twinny these days) in front of the doctor only for him to tell me that I have to go to a hospital so they can rub some gels on them and do something reminiscent of a cat scan for my balls. My appointment is next week. I have been having constant headaches though. I've been doing Pilates and exercising a lot, so that's probably the cause of it. I may just need a cup or compression shorts during cardio. He said that it could be a hernia.


I’m kinda upset that I wasn’t felt up by anyone but myself today. All of this fearful anticipation for nothing. The female nurses were giggly about it, and that kind of made me laugh. I was kind of too comfortable showing them! I'm not the prude I once was since coming out, so I found the whole thing hilarious. It's kind of weird how much of an impact coming out has had on my whole personality. I'm a lot more fun to be around. At least they tried to hide their giggles. Women don’t understand the struggle.

 

[Mr-Brooding]

And, the nurses really, REALLY need to get past the junior high mentality about genital injuries or conditions. That whole innocent giggling crap is what keeps MANY patients from ever wanting to go to a clinic for anything embarrassing. A patient should NEVER experience shame or humiliation from medical staff, not matter how lighthearted or frothy it may be. Good-natured jibing is another matter.

I wish you well on your exam, and let's hope for a handsome technician administering the gel, hmmm? What say?

Thank you for your well-wishing Yes, it's an ultrasound. I couldn't think of the word for some reason. I would much rather the technician be someone I'm not attracted to at all. I don't want to become "hard-up" if you catch my drift!
