definitely check it out, testicular cancer is a real problem man. Lance Armstrong had it and then it spread to his whole body almost killing him.

You may have a urine infection that's long overdue for antibiotics, an STD or maybe that's how your paricular body works. Don't take any risks - GO SEE A DOCTOR ASAP!

A slight pain after jacking off several times in a day wouldn't be too unusual. It should go away fairly quickly though, for sure by the next morning. Any unusual or persistant pain should be checked out by a doc. Probably nothing too serious but don't take chances. All guys should get in the habit of examining (by feeling) their testicles at least once a month too. In the shower is a good place to do it and you can find out exactly how to do it and what to look for on the web. Testicular cancer is primarily a disease of the young and can be treated if discovered early but can kill you if it's not...so just do it! If you find anything unsual down there, see the doctor!

If you find a lump on your testicle, see a doctor, preferably a urologist, right away. The abnormality may not be cancer, it may just be an infection. But if it is testicular cancer, it will spread if it is not stopped by treatment. Waiting and hoping will not fix anything. Please note that free floating lumps in the scrotum that are not attached in any way to a testicle are not testicular cancer. When in doubt, get it checked out - if only for peace of mind.\n\nHow to do a self examination of the testicles:\n*Stand in front of a mirror. Check for any swelling on the scrotal skin. \n*Examine each testicle with both hands. Place the index and middle fingers under the testicle with the thumbs placed on top. Roll the testicle gently between the thumbs and fingers -- you shouldn't feel any pain when doing the exam. Don't be alarmed if one testicle seems slightly larger than the other, that's normal. \n*Find the epididymis, the soft, tubelike structure behind the testicle that collects and carries sperm. If you are familiar with this structure, you won't mistake it for a suspicious lump. Cancerous lumps usually are found on the sides of the testicle but can also show up on the front. Lumps on the epididymis are not cancerous. \n*Other signs of testicular cancer to keep in mind are: \nAny enlargement of a testicle \nA significant loss of size in one of the testicles \nA feeling of heaviness in the scrotum \nA dull ache in the lower abdomen or in the groin \nA sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum \nPain or discomfort in a testicle or in the scrotum \nEnlargement or tenderness of the breasts \n\nI hesitate to mention the following list, since anything out of the ordinary down there should prompt a visit to the doctor, but you should be aware that the following symptoms are not normally signs of testicular cancer:\nA pimple, ingrown hair or rash on the scrotal skin \nA free floating lump in the scrotum, seemingly not attached to anything \nA lump on the epidiymis or tubes coming from the testicle that kind of feels like a third testicle \nPain or burning during urination \nBlood in the urine or semen \nhttp://tcrc.acor.org/tcexam.html...

This shouldn't be a problem. Many guys have this especially when they are having sex and they are about to climax.\n\nMake sure that your testicle does not remain in your body. That is to say, your testicle should return back in the scrotum shortly.\n\nNonetheless, it might not be a bad idea to have this checked in your next physical.\n\nGood Luck!

I have never heard of this, but seriously, see a professional (urologist) and have yourself examined. Ask the doctor for the name of your condition and a thorough explanation.

You need to visit a urologist.  Yes, some men have 2 holes. It doens't hurt you. A slight birth defect.

obviously there is alot of pain not just in the testicle but in the stomach also.\n\nas the blood supply is cut off to the testicle if it is not treated quickly the testicle will 'die' and have to be removed.\n\nalthough this should not affect a healthy male they can manage just aswell on one healthy testicle...  i know 2 people that has happened to\n\nhttp://www.bupa.ie/yourhealth/Realfactsheets/scrotal_swellings.html

Have you ever had a hernia or near hernia? I was told I came very close to getting a hernia after lifting a heavy object away from my body many years ago. Ever since that time I get tenderness in my testicle on that side whnever I overexert myself. I can never quite determine if the pain is coming directly from the testicle or somewhere along the tubes that travel from that point up to the stomach wall where a hernia occurs. I went to see a doctor many years ago who gave me antibiotics thinking I might have a low level infection somewhere and it seemed to make an improvement at the time. But I still get the tenderness from time to time now. I don't belioeve I have an enlargement though. I would check yourself for "lumps" in the scrotal sac in addition to the testicle (compare each side). Any additioal lump is definitely a problem.

Could be a bladder infection leading to a kidney infection.  If its really bad, it could be appendicitis.  Sorry for the spelling.  It could be from where youve ever done yourself.  If you feel like it may be something bad, then by all means see your physician.

could be your kidneys,  have you been drinking a lot of coffee?...i get pains there when my body tells me i have had enough coffee...you should of course, check with doctor, but in meantime, drink a lot of water to flush them..i do and it eases the pain...

Dude...you need to put down whatever you're using on yourself and get to the nearest hospital, pronto! That could totally mess with not only your sexual function, but your ability to urinate normally. And even though I'm a girl, I'm sure it must hurt like h**l!

Surely you need to see a Physician. A Urologist can help. Not something to take lightly.

Sounds like your testicle could be twisting inside it's pouch. Really do not take this condition lightly. Go to your doctor and speak about this problem because it does not go away on it's own and some-time surgery to rectify this problem by securing the testicle. Other wise Blockages can cause lots of pain and further problems down the track.
