Marijuana and testicular aching?

jtprin said:

Sometimes when I smoke, I get this subtle but noticeable aching in my nuts, usually just my left lol. Sometimes I feel it in more of the groin area as well (again, usually left side). My cousin had something like this during summer but it seemed more major and after a few doctor's visits it was gone. I've googled this and seen a lot of similar posts but could never pinpoint an explanation or reasoning behind it. I know multiple studies have shown a link between marijuana and testicular cancer, but does anyone know why this happens to some guys?

And wtf study shows that weed causes nut cancer, every thing i have seen has said marijuana owns cancer.

do you have what i have, a varicocele?? it usually happens in the left nut, and it's like vericose veins in your scrotum.. mine can get extremely painful at times..
just look at your sac, being 100% serious here.. if the left nad is noticeably bigger, you may have the varicocele like i have and will probably need a surgery to fix it.. it's also been said that they can cause sterility if you let them go for too long as it will strangle the testicle and kill it in the process..


here's a pix of what to look for. not trying to be gross at all..

My son has this he used to complain all the time of pain in his left testicle, he had an ultrasound scan and they discovered he had a varicocele, he's currently waiting for an operation to sort it out so go and see your doctor, my son eldest son doesn't smoke weed so he may not have anything to do with it. Good luck

I was only aware of one poorly done "study" that showed a very loose association between cannabis and testicular cancer. Do you happen to have links to these other studies that you "know of"? And since your post was obviously going in this direction, I'm pretty sure that you don't have testicular cancer. But if you're really scared that you have it, or some other problem, go see a urologist. You'll probably need a recommendation from your GP to see one, but that shouldn't be too hard...unless they're able to tell that you don't have any actual problem.

Achy testes are something I've been dealing with lately. Diagnosed myself with a variocele based on what I found on the internet. Mine was also the left side and was painful even in my lower abdomen. Didn't go away so I went to the doctor. Got an ultrasound and it turned out to be a small harmless cyst.

Don't guess. I think somewhere around 65% of men will have some issue with the nards in their lifetime. Go to the doctor and get some peace of mind. It shouldn't be embarrassing. Urologists look at gonads all day, every day.

Until then, ibuprofen should do the trick. Also, tighter underwear. Don't want those sore little guys swinging around all day.

Your probably fine but see a urologist just in case.

Stop masturbating often if this is the case.

Give it time to heal, after seeing a pro.

And not a regular doctor, a specialist.

It's not hurting at this moment, like I said it's random and only subtle. No thanks to the joints, even though I do love them, wastes too much weed and more harsh on the lungs. Plus I just bought myself this nice new $110 bubbly.

R u sure u weren't just stoned and sat on ur nut I do that sometimes. Sitting on my own nut that is not urs, lolz.
