I have testicular pain. What should I do?!


Question: I have testicular pain. What should I do?
I have a very personal problem and probably should talk to a doctor about this, or, at least, someone from my family. I have been feeling dull pain in my left testicle. It usually becomes more prominent during and a little after masturbation. Usually it seems to go away after a while. When I check myself I don't feel lumps or anything like that. The testicle, however, seems to be more firm than the right one. The pain is not debilitating at this moment. It's more of an annoyance that causes me concern. I have also recently noticed this foul odor when I am done. I should also say that lately I have been masturbating a lot. It happens at least once a night. Is there any advice you can give? I don't have any money to go to a doctor for a check up and I also don't have medical insurance.

Answers:

I'm a testicular cancer survivor and suggest you go ahead and see your doctor. Symptoms vary greatly from man to man, but testicle tightness and pain are common symptoms. And TC is the #1 cancer for men 15-35. The sooner a doctor can catch it the better the prognosis, and most likely the less treatment will be required. It could also be a blocked vein, infection, or benign cyst, but all of those things also need a doctor's attention. Don't worry till you have to - only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis! This site has links to credible testicular cancer resources, and shows the self-exam with a list of symptoms. Good luck and hopefully it's nothing serious.

Medical Discount Plan
ideal for those who cannot afford or qualify for traditional health insurance. The companies offer discounted health services for a quite low monthly fee. Benefits include a range of discounts for doctors, hospitals, dental, vision, prescriptions, vitamins, as well as other health services.

Individual & Family Health Plans
This is a major health insurance plan for individuals and families. If you are looking for comprehensive long term health insurance coverage for yourself and/or your family members who are 62 years old or younger - this is the plan to choose.

Short Term Medical Plans
This plan is ideal for individuals in transition. Maybe you have just graduated from college and are no longer covered under your student health insurance or you moved out on your own, and you're no longer covered under your parents' medical insurance plan. Or perhaps you're employed part-time, going to school, leaving home for the first time, or even retiring early. Maybe you've found a new job, but your new employer's group health insurance plan won't kick in until you've been with months.

my suggesting would be getting as much information as you can before taking any action,here www.HealthInsuranceFree.info is a good place for that purpose.
