hi

I have visited urologist for third times due to chronic testis pain that last for 5 years. when I suggested orchietomy he said no way, and looked me like i have schizofrenia.

He knows that all prior treatment failed, from medicines to cord injections...Conclusion was that if my test results are good there must be no pain.

Any advices....

thanks

Get a new doctor

Just so. It seems that medical professionals believe that only painless conditions of the testes are dangerous. A change of urologist may diagnose something new in you too, and get rid of the pain as well.

I agree with both Krisstoff and Daifu. Get a new doc. Maybe look for a female urologist as I think they would be more sympathetic to your request as well as more pragmatic.

Alternatively read some of the threads that some of us here have used to damage our testicles to the point where there is visible damage which will cause a doc to remove them. This is the route that I followed and it worked for me. There are others here who have tried the same route unsuccessfully, so read the threads and make up your own mind as to whether you are prepared for the possible risks and rewards of using them, but ultimately the decision rests with you.

What pain meds are you on?

Lyrica? That is an option it made me high though

Yes, female urologist is the way to go. That or a university hospital.

Alternatives are:

- spinal injections ( if the cord block did not work this is an option)

- various pain meds to find one that works and you can still function (I had no luck with this)

- epidectomy (rarely works but it is more accepted than bilateral orchiectomy)

- botox (This is one a plastic surgeon suggested actually, some pain clinics use it)

- TENS (I have yet to hear anyone successful with that though)

Yes,

As mentioned above, creating an issue that will show up on a test to justify orchiectomy.

TENS has had some early promising results with me, but the mechanics of it mean the failure will occur when the sticky pads inevitably fail to stick. Then I notice the failure a half hour later and find out that the TENS unit is shocking the crap out of my leg through a WAY too short path-length and tiny contact patch and is putting far too many miliamps through far too little meat and then I've got sore balls AND a sore leg.

If you're willing to buy electrode-laced leather jock straps from a hardcore sex shop, the unsuitability of the usual TENS electrodes might be worked around. However, I can't afford this, so I cannot provide firsthand reviews. In the mean time, I'll throw it out there because someone may be willing or able to give it a shot.

has everyone knows some other tips for the urologist to suggest them to remove balls, except doing injections?

thanks

You could suggest him hypogonadism. Try antiandrogens and after they start doing Its job, measure your t levels and show him that It´s steady lowered. It´s the only thing I could think now.

Torsion?

Cysts?

There are actually very few surgeries that are widely available I think.

Which pain meds have you tried?

Also a key point for orchialgia is to have inguinal orchiectomy surgery, not scrotal. Having had one done each way I will give my opinion that inguinal is the faster to heal and gets all around better results.

I am scheduled for 0600 tomorrow to have a bi-lateral testicle removal.

It has taken about 3 years and 2 liters of everclear to get to this point

I complained to my urologist about a year ago and he told me to see my PCP

The PCP said I had an infection and he gave me some antibiotics, which of course

I knew what was going on.

I had a routine appointment with my Endocrinologist who has me on TRT. He told me

to see my Urologist which I did. I complained of them being hard, achy all the time ( like I got kneed

in the nuts), Having sharp stabbing that radiate up to my upper groin. He sent me for an ultrasound

which was very pleasant, as a hot looking guy fondled them for about 30 minutes.

The US showed a mass in both of them. The urologist said he was going to do a biopsy. We talked about

it for a while and he finally agreed that complete removal through the groin should relieve my pain.

I agreed and it will happen tomorrow
