Personal question, guy advice please?

Question:

My right testicle hurts like hell. It started last night when I went for a walk, and as I was walking back to my house it just started to hurt as if I got hit. It only hurts when I'm standing or walking. I saw a doctor today and he said that I probably had an infection, which is apparently common among teenage (17 yr) males. He gave me some antibiotics and said it could take up to two weeks to heal. Has this happened to anyone before, or am I just a complete loser with a really painful gonad?

Answers:
Hey bud you got this thing called epididymitis. Its fairly common. I've seen it in a lot of people your age. What happens is you get an infection and your epididymis which is in your scrotum swells and puts pressure on your testicles and everything else. Hurts like crazy!
Take the antibiotics your pain should go lessen over the next couple days, and yes it will take about 2 weeks to fully go away.
I would imagine it swelled a little as well, if there was NO swelling at all than I would be concerned, and you may have torsion - which can ruin your testicles

Good Luck

P.S. Unfortunately you will most likely get this a couple more times in your life

Its never happened to me, but I've heard of it before. Sorry you're hurting so badly. The doctor is right. Take the meds as prescribed, and you'll start feeling better in no time.

your doing better than i was at 17, hell we used to get stoned and kick the **** out eachother sacks, or i would continuesly get "nut checked" with a knee, a fist, or a large heavy object nearby, its a wonder any of us had children. or ya might have rubbed your ball the wrong way, like if it sticks to your leg and you run and then stop real fast and it slams in your leg or ***

When my balls hurt i whack it. :\ relieves the pressure. :P

maybe you've been masturbating a lot or like doing it everyday?
