What Causes Pain In Left Testicle And Thin Semen?
Question: I have had very thin sperm for the last 6 months and now I am having pain in my left testical and am getting worried about it I'm 22 years old and have not had any trauma to the area for over a year
Brief Answer:
Examination and investigation
Detailed Answer:
Hi young man.
I can understand the plight you may be going through.
I think you are worried about the semen, which you feel is thin, and pain in left testicle.
I would suggest you to first undergo tests for blood, urine- routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity; ultrasonography of the abdomen for genitourinary system and of the scrotum too.
This will give an idea whether the semen is normal or not. Semen is necessarily a secretion of the prostate gland.
Also it is advisable to consult an Urologist ( Surgeon) for physical examination to get an exact clinical diagnosis and get assisted by the examinations as suggested and to get a prescription if required.
Pain in the left testicle may be due to a varicocele, epididymitis or orchitis.
Till then use scrotal support, drink plenty of oral fluids, avoid strenuous activities.
Get a proper examination, investigations and diagnosis to get the correct treatment and assistance as soon as possible.
I hope this answer helps you to get a correct line of management.
Please feel free to ask more if you feel so.
