What Causes Testicle Pain When I Lie Down?
while lying in bed i ve started feeling weak pain coming form my testicles. It was in fact so weak that i couldn t tell if i wasn t making it up so i ve decided to give it some time, see if it would just pass. During this the pain was coming and going, sometimes i can t feel it sometimes it is unignorable. I m feeling it right now and it s maybe a little stronger, i could ignore it but i m anxious about what does it indicate? What is it? Where does it comes from and what should i do? Thanks in advance for help or suggestions.

Hi,
All these symptoms are suggestive of epididymitis which is inflammation of part of the testicle and not uncommon in males. This is usually treated with 10 days of antibiotics, usually ciprofloxacin and there are no permanent consequences.
Masturbation and intercourse should be avoided until pain persist. Some more serious conditions such as tumors or torsion are rare but in doubtful cases you should do Doppler ultrasound or scintigraphy. In this particular case, I don’t think this is required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
