Could tight, tender and closed testicle be connected to on and off lower abdominal pain?
human
Hi, About 10 days ago, I noticed my left testicle stopped hanging low, and has gotten very tight, and tender. For 3 days I had a pain on my left side in my lower abdominal. That pain has gone away now, though it comes back occasionally for an hour or so when my testicle is too high. It is uncomfortable, and even hurts a bit when I am walking. When I am laying down, or when I go to the bathroom (#2) the sack relaxes and goes back to hanging normally. Most of the time though, my left testicle is very close and tight, and does not even loosen much in a hot shower. Is this something that will pass as did the abdominal pain or could it be something more serious? Thank you

Hi. This is a serious problem. Thanks for an elucidate history.This is a recurrent torsion of the left testis giving you a referred pain in the same side of the lower abdomen.First of all go for an Ultrasonography with color doppler studies during an attack to confirm the diagnosis. You may need the fixation of the testis to avoid torsion.
