My symptoms
- Dull pain (sometimes right testicle, sometimes left, sometimes both) if I walk very long (usually more than 5-10 minutes, but occasionally I can walk much longer), and if I push it too far, I will suffer much discomfort for a week or two after.
- Sitting generally eases the pain to the point of being non-existent - except in cases where I've pushed myself too far as mentioned above
- Hot baths used to help, but now they seem to make things worse.
- When the scrotal sack is not pulled up tight, I can feel a pea-sized lump on the bottom of the left testicle. I have a larger, nickel-sized lump on the top right-hand side of the right testicle that seems to get bigger after walking a bit and has occasionally increased in size after sex. I suspect this larger lump is either a spermatocele or a really angry epididymis...but it's not excessively tender.
- Manual examination by physicians is always an unpleasant ordeal, as are ultrasound scans.
- Testicles seem to hurt much less or not at all when the scrotal sac is pulled up tight against my body (this isn't so true lately).
- Sexual activity definitely results in increased pain within 12-24 hours and remains that way for 2-4 days.
- Recently (since October 2006) I (and my wife) have noticed a very pronounced increase in the length of time it takes my erections to subside after orgasm. We're now talking 10 - 15 minutes.
- Intense anger can negate pain completely and enable me to walk for hours with no repercussions. This has happened twice in the last 12 months.
- Psychologically, this problem has nearly destroyed me. I feel like I am on indefinite house arrest, and it has made a complete mess of my entire life. I'm generally a fairly optimistic person, but lately thoughts of jumping off the highest building I can find are a daily occurrence. I cannot live like this much longer. Compounding the problem is that I am currently unemployed because of this issue, and I am thus uninsured.

The disease caused by bacterial infection will require at least two weeks of antibiotic treatment. The medications given can include doxycycline, azithromycin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Cases caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis will be treated by anti-tuberculosis medications. General treatment includes bed rest, elevation of scrotum and application of ice. The elevation will raise the scrotal sac above the level of heart improving blood flow and aids in rapid healing. Intake of plenty of water is recommended. Other than these non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or naproxen can also be of assistance. If amiodarone is the suspected causes then adjustment of the drug dose is recommended. The severe cases with exaggerated symptoms such as intractable pain, vomiting, very high fever or overall severe illness may require hospital admission. Surgical removal of testis may be required as treatment of Epididymitis in complicated cases. In case of chronic illness treatment is mainly directed towards reducing the discomfort.
Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.For my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
Up to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet began to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr Itua herbal center hands whom god has blessed with ancestral herbs and a gift to heal people with diseaseSo I made a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have been watching my health for 6 years now and I actually confirmed that his herbal medicines are a permanent cure and I'm so happy that I came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr Itua herbal center Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com www.drituaherbalcenter.com if you went through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because to be honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.
