i had a hernia about 2 years ago
and yea i had the same sharp pain when i coughed with mine
and when i coughed i could see the hernia move up and down
the best thing to do is to go see your docter as the longer you leave it the worse they get

any other questions feel free to ask

It is possible that you may have hernia. This means that a part of your intestines have protruded through an opening in the lower part of the abdomen, near the groin. It happens sometimes that the protruding piece enters the scrotum and cause swelling and pain in the testicles. Best thing to do is to give it a few days and if it worsens or doesn't go away then I would schudule a doctors appointment. I would also have a physical if I were you, Knowing from your pervious post that you haven't had one.

Good Luck!

I actually had a hernia last year and went into surgery to get it fixed.

It happened a few weeks before september 09, I discovered a "lump" on my right side above my testicles, I kept feeling it and it felt odd but never hurt. It did however bother me. I pretty much ignored it for a few weeks until it wouldn't go away. I had it checked and turns out it was a hernia. Scheduled surgery in October and took about 1hr 30 mins to get it patched. They added a mesh like patch inside my stomach to keep my intestines from falling down.

You should probably just get it checked. Mine was pretty bad seeing as basically part of my intestine was way down there.. Doctor told me i could possibly keep it like that, but then i'd risk it losing blood circulation in the future.

I've experienced the same problem. I've never really given much thought to the fact that it's a sharp pain that makes you cringe and squirm a bit of ease it, but it's possible it could be a hernia, or even something like a kidney stone.

The best thing you can do is to have it check by your physician, who can give you the correct answer to what it could be.

All the best!
