Testicular pain after rectal surgery

Hi everyone,

I had surgery a week ago to remove part of my rectum and colon. At first it was hard to work out which part of my abdomen hurt the most, but now that I’ve been home for 3 days and started moving around a bit more, I’ve realised that a lot of the pain is coming from my testicles.

Has anyone else experienced this? They don’t appear to be swollen or discoloured but they’re very tender to the touch (sorry for the image!) and are causing me quite a lot of discomfort. I’m taking plenty of paracetamol but have so far resisted reaching for the Tramadol (though I’ve got it if I need it).

Any info or suggestions on how to manage this would be welcome. 


Many thanks,

Simon
