Chronic testicular pain with normal scans and tests is usually not dangerous, and many patients experience similar symptoms without a serious underlying cause. You should consult a urologist for specialized evaluation, as conditions like chronic epididymal pain, nerve-related pain, or pelvic floor tension may not show clearly on routine reports. In the meantime, try to stay calm—this condition is often manageable with proper guidance, pain-relief measures, and reassurance, even if it takes time to improve.
Hello,
Since serious causes (tumor, torsion, infection) seem ruled out,
the pain is likely due to: chronic epididymal inflammation nerve/neuropathic pain pelvic floor muscle tension chronic idiopathic orchialgia (pain without visible cause)
Wear Supportive underwear, avoid long standing/cycling, Do warm sitz baths. Short course painkillers will help
If persistent, urologists often use medications like amitriptyline/gabapentin / pregabalin for nerve pain. Pelvic floor physiotherapy may help.
👍Your reports suggest no dangerous condition. Minimal hydrocele usually doesn’t need surgery.
🛑Seek urgent care if
Sudden severe pain, fast swelling, fever, vomiting, or a hard growing lump appear.
I trust this helps Thank you
Mam I didn’t use those medicines since so can u predict what should I use tablets and timings how many days
Hello
Different causes need different treatments, and the wrong medicine can delay proper care.
My honest recommendation
Please see a urologist with experience In person and treat the cause
Thank you
Hello dear See the condition you have described is not serious and is completely treatable It is chronic testicular pain with less severity. Iam prescribing some precautions. Please follow them for atleast a month Scrotal support Heat therapy Pelvic floor physiotherapy There may be requirement of medication like Gabapentin Paracetamol First follow the preventive measures In case of no improvement consult gynaecologist in person for better clarity. Please take medication only after recommendation by concerned physician only Regards
Hi sir tq for giving sol to me but I want to know that medicine morning are night and mg will u mention for me sir
Hello dear Thanks for kind response. See Gabapentin is a tranquilizer medication with may side-effects. Do it must be prescribed by orthopedic surgeon or neurologist only I can suggest voveron xr 50 mg twice a day for 5 days Regards
Bilateral hydrocele can cause discomfort, and it seems that it could be contributing to your testicular pain. Since you’re on the right track with diagnostic tests ruling out infections or other acute issues, managing the symptoms and assessing potential underlying causes might be helpful. Hydrocele itself is the accumulation of fluid around the testicle, and while often painless, it can create a feeling of heaviness or dull pain as you’ve described. For symptomatic relief, over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help reduce discomfort and inflammation. Ensure you follow the dosing instructions carefully. You might also consider wearing a supportive device like an athletic supporter or snug-fitting underwear, as this can help relieve any pulling sensation. Applying cold packs intermittently can also alleviate mild swelling and pain, ensuring not to apply the cold directly to skin to avoid frostbite.
However, consider lifestyle factors that might be at play, like prolonged sitting or certain exercises, which may exacerbate the discomfort. Reducing activities that seem to aggravate your symptoms might be beneficial. Since pain persists despite previous efforts, you should revisit a urologist. If symptoms are troublesome or worsening, further assessment may be needed to explore all possibilities, such as an intermittent torsion or chronic epididymitis that might not show typical signs. In some cases, persistent hydroceles, wherein symptoms impact quality of life, require surgical intervention, a procedure called hydrocelectomy, to remove the fluid collection. It’s crucial to balance treating symptoms at home with professional medical advice, because if symptoms change—like if pain suddenly worsens or you experience fever, redness, or signs of infection—seeking immediate medical care would be pertinent. Make sure to express all aspects of the symptoms to your doctor because an accurate picture of your situation will guide them to find the best path forward.
Hello Cecil Thank you for explaining your situation in detail. Chronic, dull, bilateral testicular pain with a feeling of heaviness and minimal free fluid in both scrotal sacs (as seen on your recent ultrasound), but with normal blood and urine tests, and no swelling or fever, is a challenging but not uncommon problem.
What this means: - The minimal free fluid in the scrotal sacs is called a “hydrocele” when it’s more pronounced, but “minimal” fluid often doesn’t cause severe symptoms and sometimes is just a finding with no major significance. - Since your CT scan, blood, and urine tests are normal, and there’s no swelling, fever, or redness, serious causes like infection, tumor, or torsion are unlikely. - Chronic testicular pain can sometimes be due to nerve sensitivity, previous minor injury, or even referred pain from the lower back or pelvis. Sometimes, no clear cause is found (called “chronic orchialgia”).
What you can do: - Wear supportive underwear (like briefs or athletic supporters) to reduce discomfort. - Avoid heavy lifting, cycling, or activities that worsen the pain. - Warm baths and gentle scrotal elevation can sometimes help. - If pain is bothersome, a pain specialist or urologist may suggest medications for nerve pain (like pregabalin or amitriptyline), but these must be prescribed by a doctor. - Physiotherapy for pelvic floor relaxation can sometimes help if nerve or muscle tension is involved.
Is there a cure? - Many cases improve with time and supportive care, but sometimes the pain can persist. Surgery is rarely needed and only considered if a specific cause is found. - Since you’ve already seen several doctors and had thorough testing, your condition is not dangerous, but it can be frustrating.
Next steps: - Continue follow-up with a urologist
Thank you
Hello Cecil, thank you for sharing your concern. Hydrocele is a very treatable condition. Kindly physically consult a General Surgeon for proper evaluation and management.
till then take this medicine for pain- - Tab. Aceclofenac + Paracetamol twice a day × 5 days.
This course is just for symptomatic relief. Definitive treatment will be advised once a General Surgeon examines you. So kindly visit one.
Sir this course was completed their is no use still
Hi Cecil 👋
Your reports showing only minimal fluid around both testes suggest a very small hydrocele, which is usually harmless and often needs no active treatment if size is stable.
Persistent pain despite normal blood tests, urine, and scans fits chronic testicular pain; this often requires targeted pain‑management rather than more antibiotics or random medicines.
Start with: scrotal support (tight underwear), avoiding long standing/heavy lifting, short course of anti‑inflammatory painkillers if tolerated, and treating any constipation or spine/hip issues that may worsen referred pain.
If pain continues, options include: neuropathic pain medicines (like low‑dose amitriptyline/gabapentin), pelvic floor physiotherapy, or diagnostic spermatic cord block to see if nerve‑targeted treatments or microscopic cord denervation will help.
Hydrocele surgery or aspiration is considered only if swelling becomes obvious, tense, or cosmetically bothersome; tiny, non‑tender hydroceles usually do not benefit from surgery.

Hi sir can you suggest any tablets and how many days course with timing like morning are night
