I was supposed to wait another two weeks before seeing the urologist, but the pain in my left testicle became worrisome. A few days after starting the medication, I'd wake up with an intense warmth in both testicles, as if they were in a hot bath. I thought it was a good sign, indicating improved blood flow. However, the warmth turned into an ache or burning sensation whenever I stood up.
When I mentioned the pain in my left testicle to the doctor, he dismissed it as normal for my age. He said I shouldn't worry about it.
I also asked about the blood flow results from the previous ultrasound. I wanted to know the specific flow rate, but the doctor couldn't provide that information. He only said there was no detectable blood flow.
I sought a clearer understanding of my condition and asked if imaging studies like an ultrasound or MRI could provide more insights into the tube's position and potential abnormalities. Unfortunately, the doctor explained that these scans wouldn't be helpful in my specific case.
I asked if the area where the surgery was performed had healed and if this numbness was how it would always feel. He replied that it should have settled down, so this is likely how it will be.

I suspected that the aching pain in my left testicle was cause by a varicocele, as I was now staring to see the symptoms resembling a bag of worms. My own research suggests that this is a common varicocelle problem. Its very strange that i had never experienced any problems like this with my testicles prior to the medication.
I began tracking the testicle's size and shape by taking regular measurements and photos. To ensure consistency, I always performed these assessments after showering and before bed. Today's measurement revealed a width of 29 millimeters.
