I have pain in my testicles that feels like it is also going up beside the scrotum.

My right testicle is five time the size of the left, which is shrinking. My urologist wants to remove them both.

Having orchitis was the most painful experience I have ever had in my life. I was eventually hospitalized for a week and then thereafter had to keep taking antibiotics. If you are experiencing the symptoms, mention this condition as a possibility as I was misdiagnosed the first time and ended up as an emergency case the very next day. The whole ordeal has been agony and urinating has been torture.

I had a left inguinal hernia procedure performed. This led to an infection that antibiotics did not clear, resulting in the removal of my left testicle. I was released from hospital, with an open wound. The area is still sore, and I feel generally unwell, but because of bed shortages I was discharged.
