Patient's question:
I used to have chronic appendicitis, but now my testicles have started to hurt as well. Does appendicitis cause testicular pain?Doctor's answer:
Appendicitis will never cause testicular pain. The symptoms of appendicitis should be pain in the upper abdomen that gradually spreads to pain in the lower right abdomen, and it is usually a fixed pain that will not radiate to surrounding tissues or organs. Testicular inflammation, varicocele of the testicular spermatic cord, and testicular pain can all cause abdominal pain. If the abdominal pain is caused by ureteral stones, it can radiate to testicular pain. The above suggestions can be used for reference.
