Hello I am 27 and I have a similar story, with pain in my right testicle when I sit down, yet related to varicose veins. 

I have varicose veins on both my legs, and over the last year or so I occassionally felt pain in my right testicle when I sat down with tighter shorts / trousers / underwear. Pain occured about every 2 weeks. I went to check if I had varicocele by an ultrasound scan about a year ago and nothing was found. The doctor inspected and also couldnt find anything. 

I was strongly convinced that this pain must be related to the varicose veins, which are slowly getting worse with age, as so was the pain in the testicle becoming more frequent. So I decided to get the vein in my right leg removed. 

2 days ago I had the varicose veins removed in my right leg (using a local anestetic, local injections around the vein and a lazer to burn it out). Vein removed from knee up to the groin area.  I had hoped that this would help with the tesicular pain, however it has done the opposite. Now, every time I sit down I feel pain in my right testicle. I went to the A&E last night for a doctor to see it (in case it was a post surgery blood clot or something) yet I was just told to take some pain killers and go home. Urine sample was clear and nothing was found.

Although the foot and leg will probably feel a lot better due to the operation, I deeply regret doing it as it has worsened the testicle pain. It is only 2 days after the surgery, I hope that this pain will gradually leave.

I have a desk job so I am also deeply concerned how things will be when I return to work. 

I hope this will help anyone in a similar situation who is considering surgery. And thank you guys for sharing, im glad to hear that Im not alone in this. 

Hello, you have responded to a post that was made 18 months ago so I am afraid that it is possible you will not get a reply from that person.

I am sorry to hear about the pain you have. However, you had surgery recently so you might want to see if this pain gets better over the next couple of weeks and if it does not improve let your GP know.

I hope you feel better soon.

Take care

Hi All

I came across this post before I went for my scan. I had testicles and abdomen done and nothing. A few bigger veins but nothing untoward. Still to get to the bottom of it properly but I've found 20 minutes of stretching (5 of that is sat with my legs up the wall so not hard) around the groin and hips plus a couple of ibuprofen have done the trick after a couple of weeks of simply not sleeping. It can still be painful when leaning forwards for a long time on a chair but seems to be getting better. 
 

I do sometimes get the testicle that hurts swell when I walk as well particularly in tighter jeans but just seems to be chronic nerve pain which the stretching seems to help. 
 

it may or may not work but give it a go for a couple of weeks if the doctor can't really find a cause and let me know how you get on.

Hi Richard

Would you mind sharing with me the stretches that you do as I have the same issue.

Thanks

Of course. They're all hip exercises and are basically these (or a slight variation on) them

I have a foam roller which isn't cheap but if you can get one then I'd recommend it anyway. I use that first on my hamstring, glutes and lower back. Then I'll lie for 5 minutes with my legs at 90 degrees and then for 2 minutes pull my knees gently towards my shoulders (bending knees obviously). Then I'll pick 3 or 4 of those hip exercises and then finally squat down and gently go up and down by a couple of inches at the bottom to try and increase how low I can squat. Do that four or 5 times and you should be able to get lower. 
 

It's definitely helped increase blood flow and pain has subsided in about a month. 
 

obviously bear in mind we may have a different issue but all my scans, prostate PSA, blood and urine were all clear. If you're the same then hopefully this should start to help on a few weeks. Just keep at it!

Thank you very much Richard.

I have had all the tests and scans and been told I have a varicocele which I wil have treatment for when I get to the top of the waiting list but I am not too sure if this is the issue and I don't really think the Consultants do.

At least if I have the above proceedure to fix the Varicocele then it will either cure it or we can rule it out.

I will have a go at the stretches and see if it helps, thanks again I really apprecaite it.

Kind Regards

No problem. There's some specific varicocele exercises on YouTube but they look too hard to be honest but these should do the same thing and get the blood flowing
