A lady doc is an advantage if things must be checked out from the other end. They usually have smaller fingers.
I hope that it is not a testicular torsion @Meat.... Such may not only be painful, but potentially have very bad consequences if not given timely treatment.
I guess that it could possibly be a referred pain from prostatitis, Prostatitis - Symptoms and causes in which case a digital probe may indeed be a possible diagnostic test. , though I think that there may also possibly be an ultrasound in Meat's meat future. What You Need to Know About the Testicular Ultrasound too, depending on how thorough your Dr is inclined to be. Please keep us informed of your bottom line after your consult... This has been a Chello men's health PSA...enjoy!
I've had prostate cancer for the last five years or so and it's being watched for growth by a urologist. I have to endure those penetrations twice a year as part of the exam, among other tests. Wish I had a female urologist. I think this guy was an ex-football player.
This is what I’m thinking it is, pulled groin. This area would catch and pop occasionally and I’d die for about 2 seconds, it’s been happening as long as I can remember. Was sore a couple of weeks ago but I tried just walking it off. For whatever reason last Sunday…….OMG! Funny but serious if a guy was out in the middle of nowhere, with a pack. Yikes!
I’m thinking about going with a paper bag over my head, there could be some shrinkage due to the trauma down below.
IIRC, Fred Garvin the famous male prostitute had the same issue, so he wore a truss. They HAVE the technology.
@Meat I have had a groin muscle act up from time to time and the symptoms are exactly as you describe. Yes, hurts to walk, move, do anything. Nothing helps but time... I admit I never went to the doctor for it probably because it hurts too damn bad moving to get there. Best of luck and let us know the outcome.
I went today but really didn’t get a great answer except not a hernia most likely. I’m supposed to get X-rays tomorrow and return next week. I got big Ibuprofen from the pharmacy. She got real close to my left ball with her finger, I’m just glad it wasn’t my sister. She’s a doctor around these parts somewhere.
