Hello. I'm having a mild pain in my testicles. It occurs several times a day (2 days now), it's rather weak, sometimes it's the right one, sometimes the left one.

I'm a blood donor, so I've checked myself for most frequent diseases (both sexually transmitted and otherwise), drugs as well. I'm completely healthy (at least as far as blood goes)

I'm not usually a hypochondriac (the pain IS very weak, more like slight pulsing), but when it comes to my reproductive organs : I get worried.
I thought it might be due to wearing jeans all the time, and they are rather tight around the waist. I'll test that soon enough :)

Anyway, what could it be? Should I just go and see a doctor?

If it's frequently occurring pain in your testicals, it is something that would be wise to check out if wearing something else than jeans doesn't cure it. That isn't an area you really want to take your chances with, so try just letting them have more room for a while, but if it doesn't go away quickly, check in with the doctor just to be safe.

You're absolutely right, it's not something I want to joke around with. I'll try wearing trousers for a while (a day should suffice), and if that doesn't help I'll check with my doctor. Which is a she, which will make things a bit weird, but ok.

Did you learn about the Law of Parsimony yet? *Looks for hands*.

It says that the easiest, most direct explaination for anything is always superior to a complicated one.

In this case, the likely culprit of your pain is your tight jeans. Cramming your testicles into a tight pair of jeans (probably in those less supportive boxers, right?) can easily casue mild discomfort.

Try looser fitting pants and see what happens.

Yup it happens to me, because unfortunately, a lot of my jeans are a tad bit small.
This last week I haven't worn them at all, and the pain was gone.

So, if I were in the same sit., which i am, I would get looser jeans :D

Damn, I've got to start wearing boxers.
The thing is I grew up (and gained some weight), so my pants and underwear are tighter.
I guess I'll have to buy larger jeans. I simply can't wear anything but jeans.
