Hi fellas, I hope you are well.

I come looking for some advice, I had a unilateral orchiectomy nine weeks ago, and now my remaining testicle is hurting, it feels swollen and hurts when I put on a pair of jeans or trousers.

Is this normal, has anyone else experienced their remaining testicle hurt after orchiectomy, does the remaining testicle ever settle down?  

  • Hi Wolvodave

    Sorry for delay in responding.  I sympathise with your pain, I am currently just over 6 years on from when my pain first initially started and I don't have answers to why I still have pain.  I have been back and forth to hospital, scans and check to understand why I am feeling this pain but to date I have had no answer.

    I can say for me, the less activity I do the less the pain but this is not ideal or good.

    There does appear to be a number of us on this chat that are experiencing this on going issues so I would advise keep asking and pressing them for reasons why.

    I hope you are doing OK and have support in family and friends.  Each journey is different!!  Take it easy and talk to people.

    Regards
