We've all heard and/or used that odd quote. Right now it's a fact for me though. For the last couple of months Lefty has been irritated something fierce. Went to a urologist today, he diagnosed "Epididymitis" (try saying that one fast). Now another round of antibiotics, different from the one my GP prescribed. <sigh> Soon Lefty will have to undergo an ultrasound...
The doc described epididymitis as "a darn nuisance"...and it sure is. Anybody else ever have to deal with this condition?
no, but i'm going to hug my left nut a little harder tonight when i go to bed
My left nut is something of a bastard and would not mind seeing him go.
Had it often in the Navy. I actually have scar tissue from it and that really sucks when I sit just so.
Supposedly it's from doing it regularly, then all of a sudden, not.
I seriously was told by my doctor to "take measures into my own hands", once the infection was gone. Kind of difficult on a submarine.
So epididymitis is different from "blue balls" I take it.

Should have had the doctor write you a note . . .Originally Posted by Lott's Bandana
you mean masturbating.. dont lie
Well anytime you add "itis" on the end of something it denotes inflammation. So here we are talking about inflammation of some aspect of your reproductive organs....
Hire Mike Stoops, and it will clear up!
I have giant penisitis.
I've had this.... going on 7 years now. At least I've been told it is Epididymitis and/or prostatitus depending on which doctor you see on which visit.
The very first time I went to the urologist, he said, "This can be cronic..."
He was right. My pain never goes away!
I've had ultrasounds, CT scans (I think it was). I've had a procedure done twice where they open up my penis so that my urine stream will flow better. They suspected that my bladder wasn't being emptied completely and it was causing infections. Two different urologist performed this procedure on me. (I forget the name)
I've provided multiple seman specimens for lab work etc...
I've seen four different urolgist in 3 cities over a span of 6-7 years because my pain never goes away.
It feels like someone just racked me in the nuts... but not too hard because I can endure the pain. It is just a 'discomfort' most of the time.
The last urologist said that I'm not infected but just experience pain in my nuts and lower abdomen.
He said it is like a migrain headache. No cause. No cure. Just take some asprine to help my blood flow better and sit in a warm tub of water often.
I can deal with the pain. But after taking anitbiotics so often, and having it releave the symptoms, I'm a little concerned that I do have a constant infection. I just wonder what a constant infection will do to your body.
At this point... I've just given up seeing doctors until/unless the pain gets so bad I have no choice but to go back.

The doctor told me that mine was due to my vasectomy. I haven't had it in years, but when I did...ouch.
Surrender is not a Ranger word
I stopped getting it after my vasectomy.
Go figure.
Still got the scar tissue though. Sometimes an overseas flight makes me limp for a few days.
It isn't fair. A man should not be aware of his balls.
I gave my right one away in '04. Testicular cancer.
I had what the uroligist called Vas Deferinitis or something like that. I'm sure I've just gotten used to it but sometimes it reminds my that it's still there. It could even be that you just get the testicle in a bad position and it damages the Vas Deferine enough to cause me pain for a period of time.
Like Landrun and Lott said...I think you just get used to it after awhile as none of the urologists have much of an answer that doesn't involve even more pain....lol
Sorry to hear that Pic....I hope the removal keeps the Cancer gone. Since it's been 8 years now I'll assume the Doctors believe you'll be OK from now on.
Got a pretty good "case" (is that what you call it?) over the Summer. Started feeling the pain in my left testicle after a 12 hour drive to Florida. Got pretty concerned for a while and got it checked out when I got back. Got some antibiotics and the pain pretty much went away. Had maybe one little flare up since then and the pain wasn't close to what it was the first time around and it went away after a couple hours.
Although now I'm thinking of this and I might have felt a little twinge in my left nut lol
Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain, tho' your dreams be tossed and blown, walk on.
I feel bad for all the vasectomen here... that word makes me cringe
If you could do it over, would you take a different route? e.g. birth control etc etc

Hell NO, If i could do it over I'd have it done when I was 13. I hate KidsI feel bad for all the vasectomen here... that word makes me cringe

I have had a nut ultra sound....No pain just weird......
Hey... maybe T BOONE can pony up and start a Stilleater newspaper... but the players would probably just use it to roll the weed.
+1 on the Hell No, because I already have two kids and that's all anyone should be allowed to have. Besides, the whole process is more ackward than anything else.
It takes one to know one, and I know you don't know a damn thing.
