Chances Are

 

"There's a pain in my right nut when I cum and its swollen and aches for a while. Any idea whats going on?"



Is there, by any chance, a small bulge or soft lump adjacent to the base of your shaft? Is there pain when you lift something heavy, or bend, or otherwise place pressure in or on the area? Does doing any of those things cause your nut to swell and ache?


If the answer to any one of those questions is "yes," chances are you have an Inguinal Hernia.



Those will not heal on their own. The only way to repair them is through surgery. And waiting can make them worsen over time.  Make an appointment to see your doctor. And, yes, you need to tell him (or her) what activities exacerbate the issue. They'll examine the area by palpating (fingers pressing in and around the inguinal opening). It can make your toes curl (and not in a good way), but you'll have to suck it up.


If that doesn't immediately indicate a hernia, you may be asked to undergo an Ultrasound. A gel will be spread and the wand will be gently slid around the area.


Just a heads-up (no pun intended): It's common to pop wood during this procedure, but I promise you the technician has seen the phenomenon before.


In the meantime, you can find temporary relief by wearing a jockstrap.


Thin, soft, cotton ones, sometimes called a "street jock," is not the way to go.



You'll find better relief with something with a Bike-style.

Holy shit!
If anything hurt down there, I'd RUN to the doctor. So scary.

XOXO

The need for surgery is never exciting, but when it is necessary one should not procrastinate.

Hugs and bisous, my darlings Jean and Pat.
Have a wondrous day.

What a coincidence! Jerry's had three inguinal hernias in the past 20 years. Just last week he had a femoral hernia repaired. Poor guy.

@ Rick - I hope Jerry is feeling better. I know it takes a while to recover.

whkattk said...

@ Six - For sure. Don't mess around with the man bits. XOXO

Have a doctor look at this and hopefully you can get the care you need. But lack of Healthcare insurance is not an un-common problem in the US that other civilized countries take for granted. Our healthcare industry is not about health care, it is a money-making industry. And a lot of folks who may have this condition, will simply not be able to afford the care and surgery required out of their own pockets.

Hugs and bisous.

@ Jean - Oh, I hope this guy has health insurance. How awful to have to live with this. Hugs and bisous.

a buddy told me girls get boners is that true

@ Anon - It is but not in the way you're thinking. Females don't have a penis, but the Clitoris (which is what a penis is during the first 3 months of pregnancy) just like your dick, fills with blood, gets larger and hard. That's why it's commonly called a "lady boner."

A scrotal ultrasound doesn’t always result in an erection. Mine last summer didn’t, for instance. So a guy doesn’t have to be nervous upfront. And if it happens, the techs are professionals. They know how to be discreet.

Everything checked out fine, by the way.

Thanks for these informations

I had one repaired maybe a decade ago. Not a big deal because it was a laparoscopic technique with a tiny incision and done as day surgery - just a few hours in the hospital. No recurrence. It's basically a mammalian design flaw - having to penetrate the wall of abdominal muscle with tubing. But on the other hand, testicles are very good things to have!

@ Anon, February 16, 2023 at 6:38 PM - Glad to hear that your test showed all was well. When I had my ultrasound, my cock got hard as a bedpost and the technician apologized for causing a boner.

Whkattk: Thanks for the good word. Previous CT scans done during treatment of an aggressive lymphoma a few years ago had shown bilateral hydroceles, an abnormal buildup of fluid around the testicles. When last spring I started having moderate ball discomfort, I sought the ultrasound to determine the status of the hydroceles before consulting a urologist. As I said, the scan showed resolution of the fluid (it was probably formed by pressure further up from the tumor and just took a while to go away). Then the discomfort also went away, so all’s good.

I will admit to worrying I’d do something embarrassing. Kept trying to divert my thoughts. Odd sensation, what with the warm goo being squished around my scrotum from all sides by the transducer. Under other circumstances, I might have reacted differently. The boy behaved himself throughout.

If your correspondent has loose and floppy balls, if they bounce around a lot while jerking off they can result in a bruise... another potential source of pain!

I’d say the dude sporting the impressive boner in the medical bay has demonstrated a significant barometer of health, a uniquely male vital sign.

@ Cale - It is uniquely male vital sign. I sure wish more people would just realize and accept that.
