What Causes Persistent Discomfort In Left Testicle?
hi doctor about 4 months ago i got mild discomfort in my left testical. I immediately panicked and went to the doctor twice and both times i was checked and told i was ok. I then went to a private hospital for a ultrasound which showed nothing was wrong. I still get the odd time when i have discomfort in my testical. then I can go for weeks with feeling nothing. I am at the moment suffering greatly from anxiety and taking tablets for this as last year i got divorced and lost my father. The discomfort seems to get worse when i worry. My doctor has said again that there is nothing wrong. My mum is getting checked this week because she has a growth on her lung so this is causing me so much more anxiety
As your doctor has reassured multiple times after examining, and the scanning came back normal (which can detect even small growths), there is nothing to worry. This is related to anxiety. Stay relaxed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
