Within the last 6 months I have experienced groin pain in my left side and is causing an aching in my left testicle. I had been lifting weights 3-4 times a week, and have cut back with in the last couple months or so. I saw a doctor 3 months ago and he said to wear jockey underwear all the time and stop heavy lifting. He gave me an anti-inflamitory and said it was a high groin strain. I have also have had erectile dysfuntion throughout this time as well, and my girlfriend and I have had very limited sex due to this problem. I have been unable to sustain an erection if I have one as well. The pain becomes more persistance on long car rides and extending sitting time. Do you have any advise for me? Thanks. Gary Written by Robin at 15 Feb 2006 Hi Gary, thanks for writing. You have obviously been doing a bit of research yourself. I dont know if theres anything helpful which I can add. - I have heard before of weight lifting causing pain in the testicles and penis. Why on earth does this effect some men and not others? - it seems you must take up a more flexible and gentle form of sport. I am suprised about the jockey underwear, I dont quite understand but jockey underpants sound like they strap you up tight, and Id have thoguht it was far better to let the balls etc. hang freely. Being unable to sustain an erection sounds like a problem with the blood flow, so I dont understand how this ties in to the general picture. When you say sitting for long periods makes the pain stronger, then I am inclined to think it may be a problem with the base of your spine, I have heard of problems with the base of spine being the cause of pains in the testicle - a specialist I saw thought this was common. On that basis I would suggest a good massage specific on the base of spine, using tiger balm or some other heat producing agent applied directly to the base of spine, and then maybe to do this lying on your right side, to relieve any pressure on the left ... and see if this has any effect. I suppose when I combine this about your spine with your need for a gentle form of sport then you should take up tai chi or one of the other gentle Chinese sport methods. You should go to a Urologist rather than a normal doctor, (Im suprised your doctor didnt refer you to one,) Please tell me if ever you find out anything else about your condition, ... I am just another sufferer who believes in helping each other, and I know about 1% of the answers at present. cheers Robin
